Attention lovers of You Deserve Each Other (Sarah Hogle) I present to you this GLORIOUS novel. I dove into this tale without really reading the blurb and was instantly captivated by this author’s artistry. She is AMAZING. I read this in one sitting.
You are thrown into the midst of a glorious argument between the main couple. Why glorious? Because it’s fiery, it’s feisty, it’s fueled by incredible chemistry. Olivia and Chuck are a couple who has recently broken up. However, their argument this time goes viral and they wind up agreeing to take part in a reality television show where they are placed into close proximity with no internet and essentially forced to interact and communicate with one another.
It’s a delicious predicament and I was thoroughly entertained by all the tasks and challenges they encountered. However, I really appreciated how the television show wasn’t a magic bandaid for their problems. Olivia a strong inspiring independent woman and yet she is not perfect. Chuck is this warm caring selfless individual who also is not entirely perfect. And yet they’re perfect for each other. It was honestly beautiful watching these two fall in love with one another again and more importantly learn how to navigate their flaws and differences to still choose one another. It’s poignant. It’s heart wrenching. And it’s so real.
I adored this book and cannot properly applaud the author. Mark my words — this book will be big. I will be looking into reading her other two works in the meantime. ;)
Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group DUTTON Publishing Group for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you love reality tv. You will love this book. This setting was so good. It was great for this time of the year. When I want to be somewhere warm.

Oh, literary lord, just blessed me with this pant-melting, highly entertaining, unputdownable romcom—a breath of fresh air after devouring so many thrillers that gave me headaches with too many twists. Olivia and Chuck (even though that name always reminds me of Blair Waldorf’s antihero soul twin Chuck Bass) are a combustible couple that sets entire chapters on fire! Their chemistry is explosive, hyperventilating, and hot as hell! Their banter is witty and guffaw-worthy.
Can you imagine a couple who can't keep their hands off each other, agreeing to spend one month together without tearing each other's clothes off or touching? Enter Olivia Martin, the scandalous child of an illegal relationship between Hollywood legends. Raised by her grandmother, she becomes an aspiring writer buried in debts. The only solution to pay for her grandmother’s care is accepting an offer from producers inspired by a viral video featuring a screaming match with her ex, Chuck. The producers believe their chemistry is palpable and are ready to exploit their viral fame for a special TV show concept.
Enter Chuck (Charles) Walsh, whose reputation is tarnished after a quarrel with an A-list director. Becoming persona non grata in Hollywood, he aims to fix his broken career path by accepting the offer to live with his ex. This way, he can still attract producers' attention and have enough funds to fix things in his life. However, his secret agenda is also fixing things with Olivia, who is adored by his family.
Can these volatile, impulsive people endure the pressure without ending up in bed? The challenges are high, especially when unresolved feelings are on the fence.
I loved this book, giving it my five high-chemistry stars! I highly recommend you go in blind and read it!
