I have very mixed feelings about this book. The concept is very fun, and I mostly enjoyed the general execution of the girls on a dating show banding together to ruin the sleezy man involved and two of them falling in love in the process. However, I found the main characters and the romance very flat and I couldn’t being myself to care about it. I was more interested in one of the side characters, Perrie, than I was our main two characters.
The comedy part of this rom-com is spot on- the book portrays the actual experience of filming a reality show, including awkwardly refilming something until it comes out “right”. 
I will say that the man is deliciously horrid in an unfortunately familiar “dollar a dozen white man” way that makes his take down very cathartic. 
All in all, it’s a fun read, if uninspiring.

This was a cute book about second chances, or was it? More about what is worth in life: getting even or finding love, being petty or doing the right thing, getting revenge or letting go.
That’s what Maya and Skye have to decide while on a reality show with the guy who broke their hearts.
Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to review tjis book.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC of this book! This wasn’t my exact flavor of bookworm food, but nonetheless I still enjoyed the story.
