Fun Easy Read

If you are looking for a super fun, easy, clean read this is for you.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review

Loved it

This was a fun story- It was a local version of survivor with all the drama it entails. It was fun, quirky and sweet with a little romance thrown in. Not a steamy read but a fun rainy day read! I enjoyed it.

Narration was great- no complaints!

captivating, soulful, and amazing read

loved this story line about two people who trust very few people to the point that they should away from relationships. Somehow through a crazy chance meeting, they manage to come together for an amazing relationship. loved the quality of audible and the voice for this book.

Absolutely Adorable!

Megan is the exact opposite of her beautiful outgoing sister Molly, so when Molly asks Megan to compete in the Nebraska version of Survivor, Megan is sure she'll fail. Overwhelmingly shy around strangers, Megan is happiest working alone at home for her voice over and recording business. Building a shelter, competing in challenges, and playing the social game are completely out of her comfort zone.

When Megan arrives, she meets the show's medic, Cane. She instantly forms a crush on him, which deepens as they get to know each other over the duration of the show. But Cane is nursing a broken heart, and Megan has no experience with relationships. Can these two underdogs survive the show and find love?

This book hit all the right notes for me! I'm a Survivor fan who works from home, is anxious around people, blind without glasses, and have a gorgeous outgoing sister, and I found Megan so relatable. She's incredibly likable. She's a real person with real limitations, and she's hard on herself because of them. I loved watching her grow in confidence and her transformation felt real. Her romance with Cane was so sweet. I prefer books with multiple points of view and getting to read Cane's thoughts on Megan's performance was great. There were so many laugh out loud moments in this book, and I spent most of it with a smile on my face.

The actual reality show side of the book was perfect. The author pegged the game of Survivor perfectly, the cliques, the challenges, the starvation, the scrambling, and the villain. Ohhhh... the villain. She created a nasty one here. I loved the descriptions of the challenges, and got butterflies in my stomach along with Megan as she had to compete in each one. The whole read was a blast!

I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

A different type of romance

When I started listening to this story, the author was unknown to me so I was pretty excited to listen to something new. I enjoyed the background of the story since I enjoy watching Naked and Afraid and Survivor. Megan and Cane's love story is an interesting one that happens unexpectedly and you will find yourself following along their journey. I enjoyed the characters within the story and found myself laughing at different points and rooting for the underdog. It felt like I knew the characters and was involved in the different activities that took place. However, I believe the author chose the wrong narrator to do the story. She did a poor job.
