When Amy's long term boyfriend Jamie tells her they're going away, Amy thinks he's finally going to pop the question and can't help but imagine how her life is going to play out. No matter that Jamie seems to be more in love with his start-up company, Headspace, and himself, than Amy. When they set off on their surprise trip, the journey is shorter than Amy expects, and when Jamie kisses her and leaves her - well, you can imagine how confused Amy is feeling...it turns out that there is no surprise destination or proposal, Jamie has set Amy up on a new reality show called The Shelf, where he surprisingly dumps her on tv, and she has to decide whether to cut her loses and leave, or stay on and possibly win £1,000,000.

The Shelf was a refreshing and fun read - I really liked Amy, she really came across as her character is described - the ultimate girl next door. She was kind and fun and friendly, and a delight to read. Her fellow housemates were all fantastic, especially Gemma, an instagram influencer whose family see more of the top of her head than her face these days. The story flowed well and kept me interested, and it was great to see how Amy and the others realised that maybe things weren't quite as perfect as they may have thought...

I'd definitely recommend The Shelf as a cute and quick summer read!

Thanks to Bonnier Books UK for providing me with an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Shelf will be released on 9th July 2020.
