This was a cute book, combining reality tv, a murder mystery, and romance. It was a little ridiculous/madcap, but it was intentional camp. Alice Chen agrees to go on a reality tv show with hopes of using the winnings to pay for her mom’s medical bills. It’s a relationship-testing competition, and she feels confident her fiancé, Chase, is up to the task. Until he cheats on her with another contestant. Instead of going home, she opts to fake date the other cheatee, who happens (conveniently) to be her high school nemesis, Daniel Cho. It turns more into a mystery when dangerous things keep happening on the set, and that is intensified when they find a dead body. Alice and Daniel’s sparring is fun. It was a light, fun read. (7)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
