*Thank you NetGalley and D.J. Murphy for the ARC!*
The DRAMA, the MESSINESS, all wrapped up in a love triangle on a reality TV show with LGBTQIA+ representation and a dash of spice!
From the dedication alone I knew that I would love this book and it did not disappoint. This was as much a love story as it was a story of a girl taking back her life and creating her own narrative. I love loved LOVED Indigo, her heart knows no bounds and lost as she was for most of the story, she always made room for others and their well-being. Indie deserves nothing but happiness forever and she absolutely is one of my favorite FMC's I've ever read!
Where D.J. Murphy really excels is in her ability to write deep, complex, and heart-wrenching characters. I felt something for every contestant on the show, Ryan (MY FAVORITE CHARACTER), River (my sweet love), Kade, and both of the moms and felt a deep disgust for the characters who deserved it. Truly masterful character work in this stunning debut!
