What a page-turner! FINALLY, something that made me want to keep reading! 👏🏼 The plot was pretty unique. Kind of a Big Brother meets Hunger Games vibe. I don’t watch a ton of reality competition shows, so there may be a better fit, but you get the idea. I loved the challenges and rewards set up. I kinda thought there would’ve been more to those at times, but overall, still a great story. I would definitely read another “season” of the show. I’m already wanting to seek out similar books to read, so if anyone has some recommendations, feel free to comment! It was a nice change of pace from all the “romantasy” books I’ve been talked into reading. Definitely much needed.
