It's been two years since Maya dumped her cheating ex-boyfriend Jordy, and she still can't escape him: his sister married the crown prince of a minor European country, and in the lead up to the wedding he captured hearts globally as the eligible younger brother. So, when Maya receives an invitation to be a contestant on Second Chance Romance, a new reality show in which the now-famous Jordy will re-date his ex-girlfriends in an effort to find "the one that got away," she isn't interested…that is, until she realizes she can use this opportunity to exact her revenge. If she can make it to the finale, she can reject Jordy and publicly break his heart. As far as Maya's concerned, it's payback with interest: just what a guy like Jordy deserves.
But when she gets to the set, she's confronted with the one person she hasn't accounted for: Skye, the beautiful, charismatic girl Jordy cheated on Maya with. How is she supposed to live with this girl for six weeks? Sharing bunkbeds, for crying out loud?
Except, of course, there's more to Skye than she lets most people see. Skye has her own reasons for being careful with her heart, and might be more willing to take Maya's side than it initially seems. If they can sustain their reluctant alliance—and keep their unexpected chemistry from interfering—they might just have a chance to take Jordy down.
This was such a fantastic read! I don't read a lot of contemporaries, but this story of revenge, of a reality dating show dating the exes, yeah, that was an intriguing concept! Watching it play out was just so entertaining to read!
Jordy is an asshole. The way things ended with Maya, and how he presented it to the world, asshole. He wasn't so bad to Skye, but they didn't have as much of a relationship, or length. So to go on this dating show, of him dating his various ex's, the opportunity to show him up is there, and she takes it!
I really enjoyed getting both of the girls' perspectives, of why they were there, and why their specific relationships with Jordy ended. That they're having these competitions, as they're falling in love with one another was just so fitting!
The two parts of the end, of the finale of the show, and the afterwards of their lives, was so great! I'm glad that's the direction that things went, because he had that montage waiting in the wings. That hers got used afterwards, yeah, that was just so fitting!
Loved reading this book and I need to read more by Sophie Gonzales!
