Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for allowing me to red this ARC!

Ya'll. I am obsessed with this book. I stay up til four am straight up devouring it because I had to know what happened next, and it was worth every hour of sleep lost.

Charlie is a disgraced tech genius who is looking for a way to make a comeback. He doesn't believe in true love, or love at all, really, and yet he decides to participate in tv's most popular reality dating show Ever After (seriously, they're on season 37!), Charlie is awkward and stiff on camera, with no chemistry between himself or any of the women contestants, and nearly immediately regrets his decision to compete on the show.

Enter Dev, one of the show's producers. Dev loves love and is assigned with getting Charlie to look at least like he isn't going to bolt the minute the cameras start rolling. Despite dealing with a nasty breaking just six months prior, and still having to work with his ex, Dev is fantastic at his job. He goes above and beyond for Charlie, and he knows he can make him fall in love this season.

Only, what happens when it's not one of the contestants Charlie falls in love with?

The characters in this book are just absolutely amazing, oh my gosh. The cast is diverse, there are several different sexualities represented AND Dev and Charlie are not these shining, perfect princes themselves. They struggle with OCD and depression, respectively, and it's so nice to see it done in a way that people actually experience every day.

I wanted to scoop Charlie and Dev up and keep them in my pocket where no harm would ever come to them again. Seriously, I cannot wait for this book to release so I have people to scream about it with me.

Pre-order this. You won't regret it.
