Description: If your ex called you up to compete on a second chance dating show for his heart, would you do it? No? Well, Maya's motivations aren't to win his heart: it's vengeance. Maya was cheated on by heartthrob Jordy and no one believes her. So when Jordy calls for this unique opportunity, Maya sees it as a way to embarrass him. Skye, on the other hand, has more pure intentions. Once Maya and Skye meet, they begin to develop their own relationship and discover what they have in common besides being Jordy's ex. So, who will come out on top here? Maya, Skye, or Jordy?
The good:
- I am a fan of reality TV, so this concept was right up my alley.
- I like the exploration of what goes on behind the scenes of a reality TV show.
- I appreciated Maya and Skye's growth.
- The side characters were intricated and added depth to the book.
The loss of a star:
- I do love well written villains, but I could literally not stand Jordy. He was too much for too long and anytime he was brought into the conversation past like 20% of the book, I could not stand him! So, unfortunately, he did bring down the book for me.
Overall: I'd recommend it to anyone who wants reality TV in a book, just be ready to get on the Jordy hate bandwagon.
