Thank you Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the eARC of Attached at the Hip! All opinions in this review are my own.
I don't know what it is about the reality TV show frame but I love when characters have to compete on them! Attached at the Hip is centered around a Survivor-like series, except the players are tethered to each other in pairs and there is the promise of romance for them.
At first, I was a bit thrown off by the fact that the main character is 23 but this book is labelled as YA. Orie does read very young so I'm not sure if this was a late change in the writing process. There are also some plot lines that aren't fully flushed out or are fixed a little too conveniently.
However, while it is not perfect, Attached at the Hip still had me cracking up at various points. So much so that I actually woke my boyfriend up one time from reading it.
I recommend Attached at the Hip if you are looking for a Survivor-esque plot with truly hilarious moments!
