Wow is this book a wild ride! It had me on the edge of my seat..really didn’t know how it would end. Laurie Devore does a great job exposing the underbelly of reality dating shows like The Bachelor, and also getting inside the head of a very vulnerable character. It was a nice twist on the heroine trope. There are a lot of themes woven together and explored adeptly…made me think. Queer rep: a smidge towards the end

Short summary: Jac is a once-successful romance author who’s running thin on ideas. She’s approached to appear on The 1 and thinks it’ll be great fodder for writing. Until she gets sucked in…and then there’s the producer she accidentally slept with before filming started, and the lines between reality and TV start to blur.

Thanks to Netgalley, and Avon and Harper Voyager. ARC exchanged for an honest review.
