Book Summary
This young adult contemporary novel follows Maya and Jordy, ex-girlfriends who find themselves competing on a reality TV show for a chance to win back an influencer whom they both previously dated. The narrative explores themes of romance, competition, and self-discovery within the context of a reality television setting.
What it does well
Watch for
- — The book features LGBTQ+ relationships as a central plot point, which diverges from a traditional biblical understanding of marriage and relationships.
- — The reality TV show setting and focus on winning back an ex could promote a non-biblical view of relationships driven by outward appearance, competition, and fleeting emotions rather than commitment and spiritual compatibility.
- — The language and themes are geared towards a young adult audience and may include content (language, sexual innuendo) that some Christian parents would find inappropriate for their teens.
Verdict
Christian readers, particularly parents of young adults, should be aware of the prominent LGBTQ+ themes and the secular portrayal of relationships before engaging with this book. It is not recommended for those seeking literature aligned with traditional biblical teachings on relationships and morality.
