This was a fun and spicy queer read and I loved all the representation in this! This was the first romance novel I read with a non-binary MC! It was challenging to differentiate the voices of the MCs via audiobook.

This was fast paced and entertaining book! I enjoyed the reality tv trope, and found it witty and enjoyable. I like Dahlia and London as characters, and saw their lovable sides early on. The “Uhaul” queer trope definitely fits for Dahlia and London. I appreciated the more passionate spicy scenes, along with the intimate and endearing ones. That was so refreshing. 

Be aware that there are multiple instances of transphobia directed at London by another competitor and their dad, who doesn't accept them coming out. While I know this is the reality for many queer and trans folks, I would have enjoyed the novel more without the discrimination plots.
