Betting on Sin by Maria Ann Green

3.0

Hey, can I steal you for a second? If you, too, are a nonsensical person missing the Bachelor Nation pseudo-reality tv landscape, have I got the recommendation for you. First, how are you not binging Love Island on hulu? Second, this indie romance, Betting on Sin, has got you covered.

Greta landed in third place on last season of Lock and Key, and she now finds herself lonely at the top as this season's Key, 30 hopeful Locks vying for her heart and television ratings. But what if she feels more for one of the cameramen on the show than any of the contestants?

I love the premise of this book. It scratched my reality tv itch and gave me some top shelf drama (yay!). However, I didn't feel that I really got to know Greta or Ollie as well as I wanted to. Also, I'm not a fan of the trope where everyone's tears could have been avoided with proper communication.

Overall, I recommend this to fellow dating reality tv fans who want a light read to fill the void left by covid-19.

Thanks to Netgalley and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
