What I liked:
- reality show setting
- prince MC
- queer rep
I had trouble deciding how to rate this book, because while the writing is... not very good, the plot still managed to suck me in for the first ~60% of the book. I'd much rather read a badly written book that's interesting than a well-written book that's dry and boring.
My biggest issue with this book was inconsistency in the characters and writing. I was constantly getting whiplash from the MC making decisions but then 2 paragraphs later deciding the opposite for no apparent reason? But like I said, even with that, I found it kind of addicting. If you can turn your brain off and are forgiving of issues like that, it's a fun read. If flawed writing bothers you, you're better off skipping this one.
Thank you Netgalley and Hayden Stone for the chance to read the ARC! All opinions are honest and my own.
