Turning thirty and surrounded by married couples, Bethany Parks does something she never thought she’d try—reality TV dating. Although finding love would be nice, she’s mostly looking for a fun distraction.

Bethany thinks she’s prepared for aggressive cameras and competitive flirting, but this is a show like no other. The provided wardrobe is a collection of the worst fashion trends of all time, and even more disturbing, they’ve brought on everyone’s exes, including Todd, her most recent dating mistake. He’s the last person in the world she wants to mingle with while sporting ‘mom’ jeans.

Things aren’t all bad. Her new buddy Tyson has her back, and Bethany can’t keep her eyes off the gorgeous and mysterious Carter. She knows right away she’ll have to protect her heart, because on a show like this, the worst thing might actually be falling in love.

My Thoughts

What a fun summer read, exponentially more entertaining than watching a reality television show!!! Bethany is an everyday gal, modest without being naive, and she has a little bit of an adventurous streak.

Although starring in a reality dating show is way outside of her comfort zone, Bethany makes her way through each day of filming. The difficult director, cringe-worthy wardrobe, and unpredictable co-stars provide humor, drama, and sweet romance.
