20yo Jordy, the famous brother of the new Princess Samantha, is the focus of a new TV show called Second-Chance Romance, allowing him to re-date his exes from before he became famous. 18yo Maya is adamantly against going on the show until it occurs to her that she could expose Jordy as a jerk and a cheater. But that also means Maya has to face Skye, the girl Jordy cheated on her with.
The first third of the book was nerve-wracking because I was constantly bracing myself for everything to go horribly wrong, resulting in embarrassment for Maya and sympathy-embarrassment for me. Once the lines between enemies and allies were rearranged, the story became more enjoyable because I could finally relax. Our emotions can be difficult to navigate, and I appreciated how Maya struggles with finally getting revenge, figuring out what she really wants, and the idea of letting something go to make space for something better.
Most of the characters are implied white. Kim is Indian-English. The mature content rating is for innuendo, alcohol use, intense make out scenes, and implied sex.
