Mandy comes on the show to get over her ex. She decides to not tell the show that she is bisexual. Dylan is one of the other contestants and is likely to win. They end up as friends, but maybe more?

I have read a couple of books with the reality show trope, specifically the bachelor-style ones, and this one did start off strong. The characters were funnier than usual and had some real potential. It fell apart when they got to the romance part because I hardly believed that Dylan felt romantically toward our girl, even by the end.
I also had several issues with plot points, which made me wonder if the author just missed opportunities to make the story more interesting or if I missed something. The final straw though was how frequently our fmc talked about how tiny-cute-petite-blonde-little-girl she was, while also being a mechanic and so good with her hands - literally joked about her being THE male fantasy, which made this whole book feel like it wasn’t written for the gays.
