A fun one! I flew through this short and exciting read—what begins as a Love Island-style drama fest quickly becomes an exposé on the human psyche (so… Love Island). I loved the concept of the show, and I loved how Lily was your classic, selfish contestant, not the one who pretends to be otherwise. This would have been five stars if not for the ending—I felt it wrapped up way too quickly. We were gearing up for a deeper ending than what we got. Still, I would recommend this to anyone who consumes reality TV.
