This book is about Indigo Johnson and the upheaval of her life following a messy, but necessary break up with a “newly” famous influencer. Instead of sulking and licking her wounds, Indie decides to confidently change the narrative for herself and social media by joining a dating show! She gets mixed up in a complicated love triangle with her childhood best friend, River,  and the star of the show, Kade. 

I requested this book looking for a romance, but hunnyyyyyy the drama and complex characters are what made me stick around. The characters in this book are so dynamic and diverse across various identities and worldviews! I feel like my inner teenage self was SO pleased with this story and enjoyed it a lot. This book had all the things: some steamy smut, messy drama, hot male characters, diverse villains, and good friends.

I truly enjoyed every minute of reading this one - there were parts that made me giggle and kick my legs in the air like a school girl, gasping for air, and literally having to put the book down because of pure shock!
