Attached At The Hip by Christine Riccio

4.0

 Attached at the Hip by Christine Riccio is a delightful romcom, set in a reality competition game reminiscent of Survivor, but with a unique speed dating-type vibe. It's a perfect blend of romance and comedy that kept me entertained from start to finish.

Orie Lenox is an AcroYoga Influencer with her sister Lark, who keeps getting increasingly frustrated because Orie cannot make any decisions independently.  She doesn't even live independently, choosing to live in her parent's basement.  Orie doesn't love her boyfriend, who she's been with since she was a teen, but she can't even decide to end that relationship.  When things spiral out of control, Orie sends her try-out tape to Survivor to prove that she can act independently. And the rest is just pure entertainment.

The story, while engaging, could have benefited from some trimming. The detailed narrative, while adding depth, at times felt excessive, making the reading experience a bit lengthy.

But it is so much fun! The relationships are messy.  The challenges are compelling.  The strategies are inherently flawed. And even the bad guys are charming.  So, so messy! And I loved that!
