I went into this book fairly blind. I knew that it was a young adult contemporary with a mix of Survivor and Bachelor in Paradise. I love both of these shows, and immediately lost myself in this story. 

The main character, Orie, had a lot of unexpected character depth. I liked seeing her interactions with the other characters and liked how the time spent with each deepened the plot and individual character development. 

I loved the twist about halfway into the book, and I wasn’t able to put it down after this point. I read this entire book in a 24 hour period, and I loved every single page of it. 

I enjoyed how this book was young adult but the characters were older than the typical YA cast. It was nice to see characters have chemistry and passion without the book containing any open or closed-door spicy scenes. 

My favorite quote from this book is “Isn’t that piece of advice kind of sexist in itself? Because women tend to look for romance, and dudes tend to be afraid of it for years, so we should pretend to be uncaring and aloof?”

This was my first book written by Riccio, and it definitely will not be my last. I can’t wait until Attached at the Hip is available because it is begging to be a part of my physical library. Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this advanced reader copy, I loved it!
