Okay, this was actually delightful! 

The plot was entertaining and interesting, which honestly surprised me because I generally don’t like books with TV show settings, but it was enjoyable here. 

I loved the characters. They had such perfect chemistry and the tension between them kept building over the course of the story. Also, the sex was hot. 

And up until like almost the very end, I was very close to giving this 5 stars. 

The pacing was a bit off, especially around the 50% mark, but it got its dynamic back quickly, so it didn’t bother me too much. 
What did bother me though was that ending. This is of course a purely personal preference, but I just cannot with cheesy over the top endings. It almost felt like I was reading about two different people all of a sudden, it felt so out of character to me. 

Despite that though, it was a great story with loveable characters, ADHD rep, and a (to me) unique game show setting. Would recommend!
