Charlie is very sweet. Love him. Dev on the other hand is insufferable. He's terrible at his job, insensitive, and rude, and none of that changes by the end. I also couldn't get on board with Dev's faith in a reality show actually being able to garner true love. For someone who's only seen it on TV? Sure. But for someone who works behind the scenes to help create the drama, and manufacture a believable relationship? No.
Most of this book felt like a 2 star, but the ending pushed it down to 1. It took what little momentum this story had and buried it under stupidity and stubbornness.Despite wanting to be with Charlie deep down, Dev just gave up. He basically needed to be forced to see him again. Where's the romance if one character can't even be bothered to fight for the relationship? Also, as a thin person myself, I can't think of anything less romantic than being thought of as "sharp" and "pointy".

lehet mégis vannak még jó romcomok amikben van tartalom és mondanivaló és amiket megéri elolvasni 🥹
i thought the premise was quite unique for a rom-com, and i was expecting a quick fun read.
sadly, the first chapter managed to irritate me. and while i did push through, i found myself unable to connect with the main characters and - surprise, surprise!! - it turns out the entire backdrop of a dating reality show just doesn't work for me (i should've perhaps expected that, as i never watch those types of shows)
Started on a whim, but really enjoyed the ride. I'll be reading more by the author

was it very idealistic and super predictable? yes...
but i also think it was kinda self-aware and genuine. (truly rom-com essence served on a silver platter hehe) it was so fun to read.. i appreciate the discussion of mental health and i think the character development was satisfying!
