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!

A fun read and my biggest issue throughout the whole book was the lack of stakes. Or I guess poorly constructed stakes. A tech billionaire trying to fix his image on a realty dating show? Girl have you met anyone who’s worked in tech? Or the fact they couldn’t be together because of the show and like the thought that they’d be married forever…it’s a dating show it’s fake who cares. And obviously Dev had ideas in his head about it but like idk it just didn’t compel me. Also another victim of the time jump in the last 20 pages. But! All that being said really enjoyable dynamic and characters and I finished in an afternoon

The characters are sweet and the story has good bones, even though it’s pretty formulaic. I just tired of how repetitive the book got and how single-note some of the characters are.
