This book gave me all the warm fuzzies in the world. Sigh... it was a wonderful read. 

I went in expecting a dystopian novel and came out with a sense of hope for humanity. It feels like I was blessed with a gift of joyful perspective. This is thanks to the FMC, Eden. Her sense of wonder, even after so much skepticism and personal pain, was refreshing. The author wrote her in such a way that, as a reader, you are able to flow through her emotions right alongside her. And we go through the gamut! It is quite enjoyable though and was probably my favorite part of the book. Just being there with Eden, every step of the way. 

Now that is not to say we do not have a lovely pair of MMCs. Because lol we do! They both appealed to me for very different reasons. Henry was a constant friend and support, while Theo... oh Theo. He was a lot more than he initially seemed, and discovering all that he was… was sublime. 

The side characters add a lot to this story. There are pranks, there are ulterior motives, and hilarious scenes as the competitors figure out their way through this Bachelorette competition. So. Much. Fun. 

I’m confident recommending this one to anyone who enjoys gasping at 2 AM when a twist hits. Or anyone who loves to see true love win. In fact, anyone who loves a well-written story, because that is exactly what this is. 

Well done, Jill Tew! Well done!
