I struggled with this couple. They just seemed more in love with the idea of each other than actually being in love with each other. They struggled to communicate throughout the whole book (and then commented on how good they were at communicating??) I liked the plot lines with the parents though. I also thought it was super weird that there was this whole build up for being on this show, and it took place approximately 20 min. before the end of the book. I was expecting it to happen earlier and then see more of the impacts of it.
