This book sounded so intriguing to me because I love books that are set on reality tv shows. The premise sounded great, however it wasn’t executed well at all.
Olivia Martin never wanted to be famous while that’s exactly what her on again off again boyfriend, Chuck Walsh, wants. Both of them are broke and Chuck is on Hollywood’s “Hard to Work With” list. When a video of their latest breakup goes viral and they are approached by the producer of Name Your Price, Chuck jumps at the opportunity. All they have to do is survive living together for an entire month. If they can do it they’ll both win a million dollars. Olivia needs the money, but is it worth all the stress and aggravation?
I really wanted to like this, but I just didn’t. I felt like the set up for the plot was over the top, the middle dragged along, and the end cleaned up far too nicely. In addition to that, I forgot myself rolling my eyes and sighing annoyingly more times than any book should cause.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for an advanced copy of this. Name Your Price hit the shelves on July 30th.
