Description
A brilliantly funny, feel-good romantic comedy from Jo Lyons, perfect for fans of Portia MacIntosh, Abby Jimenez and Love Island! ??????????The most adventurous thing unlucky-in-love primary school teacher Libby has done this year is buy an air fryer. So when she finds herself trading places with her twin sister during the summer holidays, to be a contestant on reality TV show Love on the Island, she is way out of her comfort zone.
Jetting off to a villa in Mexico full of promiscuous muscle-mountains coupling up with glamorous women with frozen foreheads and hidden agendas, and a she-devil executive producer hellbent on exposing her to ridicule, should be her worst nightmare but somehow Libby does end up catching feelings... for the one guy who is forbidden fruit. Gorgeous, sexy, show producer Cameron.
Suddenly Libby's summer is picking up. But she'll be kicked off the show and lose her chance with Cameron unless she learns how to become a crazed, fame-hungry, media whore... and fast.
Yes, love is about staying true to yourself. But it's also about taking risky leaps of faith.
And if true love is the prize, has she got what it takes to win? ??
