what the heck went wrong? i was loving it and then it didn’t just go downhill, it flew off the cliff

"I'm her happiest memory. Which I can appreciate, since she's at the center of all of mine."

Swoooonn! This sweet, funny, unique YA romance had me smiling from ear to ear and laughing throughout. I'm a big fan of friends to lovers and Kaitlyn Hill executed it perfectly! I liked Sloan and Liam from the start and loved their sweet friendship. I only wish we could have seen more of it!

As the other reviewers have said, if you enjoy The Bachelor you'll enjoy this YA spin. It kept me hooked and turning the pages. I didn't see the ending coming and absolutely loved it.

If YA romance is your thing, I definitely recommend!

Thanks so much to Random House Children's and NetGalley for the eARC!

CUTE! A really wholesome twist on the teen reality tv show trope. I would have liked to see more of Sloane and Liam's actual friendship, to make the friends-to-lovers feel a little more believable, but the ending felt real and complete.

THIS WAS SO SO GOOD. I DONT KNOW WHY ALL THE REVIEWS ARE HATING BECAUSE OH MY GOSH.

I love the setting and the characters and everything. I only wish we'd gotten to know the girls more but everything else was so perfect. It also felt very sentimental and reminded me of playing Episode-- the reality show stories were my favorites.

So cute and will probably become a comfort read 💛
