Once I picked this up I could not put it down. I think I read the whole thing in about 36 hours.
Sophie Gonzales is such an amazing writer, her characters are the perfect blend of hilarious and relatable. I was rooting for Skye and Maya from the very beginning, even when they hated each other. I loved the development of their relationship. From outright hatred, to begrudging niceties, to true love for each other. It was all very realistic which is something I don't find often in books like this.
Hated Jordy, Like a lot. It was funny, he reminded me so much of a guy I used to know that I found myself physically cringing at some of the things he did. Gonzales really made him the easiest character to dislike.
Overall, this book was amazing. The dating show format is a ton of fun, the characters are well written and realistic, and it is a fast paced plot that has even more plot twists than I could have wished for.
