This book was great! I enjoyed Cas and Ada, though I would have loved Ada’s POV as she seemed the more mature of the two. I thought the author handled the reality TV aspect of things really well and fleshed out some of the side characters in a way that helped keep them all distinct. The chemistry was there and Cas had a good arc. It was a fun read, but I wanted a little more overall.

Short summary: all that stands between Cas and her dream job is getting to the finale of Hot Summer (based on Love Island). When she meets Ada though and starts developing feelings, Cas wonders how long she can keep up the lie or if she wants to.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Group Putnam. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
