Romance, revenge, and reality TV. The new queer YA rom-com from Sophie Gonzales, bestselling author of Only Mostly Devastated. Eighteen-year-old Maya dumped her cheating ex-boyfriend Jordy two years ago. So, when she receives a call to participate in Second Chance Romance - a reality show in which the now-famous Jordy re-dates his ex-girlfriends - she isn't interested . . . until she realizes she can use this opportunity to exact her revenge. If she can make it to the final spot on the show, she can reject Jordy in front of the nation, and publicly break his heart. Maya's fellow contestants include Skye, the beautiful, charismatic girl Jordy cheated on Maya with. Skye charms the socks off everyone she meets, except for Maya, who knows that underneath all the sparkle, she's the girl who dated her boyfriend while he was still her boyfriend. The reality show is a challenging environment. Amidst backstabbing, bickering, and having to see Jordy again, Maya finds herself becoming friends with Skye. Together, they come up with a plan for the ultimate revenge on Jordy. But as she spends more time with Jordy and Skye, Maya is torn. Is Jordy a good guy who made a mistake? Is there more than friendship between her and Skye? As the season finale approaches, can Maya execute her plan, or will she go off-script?

    I love this book so much! I don't even have any words for it. I might come back later to write an actual review (or I might not), but right now all I cqn do is scream about how much I love everything about it. I couldn't stop reading this and was smiling throughout most of it. I absolutely love Maya and Skye and Perrie and really just all six of the girls. I'm excited to try out another book by Sophie Gonzales, but it will be very hard to top this one

    Sophie Gonzales never disappoints! This was really cute. The romance was cute, the premise was fun. I will definitely be picking up all of Sophie Gonzales's books in the future! I was really nervous they were gonna be the bigger people and not get revenge on Jordy at the end. So glad they did lol
