romance in reality tv

inspired by my simultaneous binge watch of old seasons of love island and island, alongside the current season of big brother. Romance books that take place on/around reality tv/tv sets. Bonus points given to competition reality!

*** I have not read all books on the list! Open to recommendations :)

This is such a fun list! I have a few suggestions I've read and enjoyed if you're still looking to add to it:

Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall, which is the first in a series that focuses on a Great British Bake-Off type show • Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake, which involves a home renovation show • Alice Chen's Reality Check by Kara Loo and Jennifer Young, which is a romcom murder mystery set on a dating show
