I did not expect to love this book anywhere near as much as I did. It was wonderful!! so so funny and also so heartfelt. I loved Maya and Skye and all the girlies and omg Isaac is the best! the pacing is fab and the dual pov was done really well in my opinion. If you love sapphic romance, many a female mc and the take down of terrible men you've got to read this book ! (also fabulous bi rep so yay!)

I've been looking forward to this book since it came out, so glad I finally got the chance to read it! Cute, great bisexual representation, with a whole heap of the forced proximity and enemies to lovers tropes. One of my favourite reads of 2023 so far.

A pretty cool concept, which I adored. I always wondered about the behind the scenes of a reality show so that book was a interesting read. Also the main couple was cute. I recommend this book if you are looking for a vacation sweet lighthearted romance read. Thank you :)

This book was so adorable. It was basically The Bachelor but with a sapphic twist. Love triangles are automatically superior if the two love interests get together instead. I liked how this critiqued reality tv shows by portraying it as a way to pit women against each other. But the women in this book definitely didn’t fall for it as they all became friends in the end. There was just something so satisfying about Jordy reaching his downfall at the end. I fucking hate that guy! 

I wish we had gotten more of Maya and Skye throughout the story. I feel like some of their romance was rushed, or it was more of a physical relationship. I didn’t fully feel that emotional connection until the end. I just would have liked to see more heartfelt conversations between the two girls in the middle of the story. 

I also wasn’t a big fan of the miscommunication trope that happened at the end of the story. It was relatively small compared to other books I’ve read but it was still frustrating. Overall, I really enjoyed this sapphic rom-com. I would highly recommend it.

This one didn't do it for me, couldn't get past the believability of the reality TV premise, that and I found it hard to like any of the characters. There were some fun moments for sure, the little behind the scenes we get at the production of the show were interesting.
