In this story, several young women go on a dating competition show that will put them through elaborate challenges as well as drunken catfights and confessionals in the hopes of winning the heart of a new person.
Never Ever Getting Back Together, young-adult author Sophie Gonzales’ latest feminist, queer-positive spin on rom-com tropes, succeeds because it leans into the insanity that is the popularity of reality dating shows and that actually found a refreshing new approach to that staid format. Strangers are supposed to fawn-and fight-over these stars ostensibly because…they become convinced this person they’d never met until eight weeks ago is their soulmate? The thing that has always fascinated me about the Bachelor/ Bachelorette reality dating show mega-franchise is that the year’s titular lead is both the judge and the prize.
