The Perfect Match reality tv show mixed with Lord of the Flies. The premise kept me intrigued. The protagonist did not. 3.5 stars

i know the premise was lord of the flies meets love island, but they didn’t mention anything about the orwellian/animal farm themes as well, which i loved about this book. 

it made me feel so eerie and uncomfortable, in the best way possible. the characters’ slow descent into madness was horrifying to see, though it did make total sense given the context of the show. 

beginning was a bit slow, but they made up for it. 

yeah, wow.
