I really liked the idea of the book it being set around a hetero-normative reality dating show. I think at times it felt like I loved the idea of the book but often felt like the writing didn’t live up to the potential and that the representation of mental health often fed into stereotypes - especially the portrayal of OCD. 

While I was glad the characters got their happy ending it felt like as a reader we were robbed from seeing a proper conclusion to Dev and Charlie’s romance.

Minor: Eating disorder and Sexual assault

The book heavily discusses the mental health of its main characters and while I agree this should be de-stigmatised I don’t think this was a good representation of mental health problems particularly OCD.

I really enjoyed this novel! Once you get over how cringey romantic reality TV is, the book is wonderful! I especially appreciated the ace-spectrum representation.

i would die for devcharlie.

in all seriousness, i adore the exploration of mental health and sexuality and the idea of choice. being able to choose for yourself what makes you happy is such a lovely idea and this book just hits.
