Hey Everyone,
As you know, I have been trying this new thing for me where I tell you about a book I loved and share a free ebook link to that book if possible.
What I picked this novel?
It’s similar to the bachelor on tv, but this one is a book and also queer. In a way, it reminded me that tv stars are still human at the end of the day. I like the way anxiety was talked about here. Plus, I loved Dev and Charlie together. If you liked If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales, Cale Dietrich, this gives off the same vibes. I gave it my first five stars of this year.
First Lines:
THE FIRST NIGHT OF FILMING
Pasadena, California—Saturday, June 5, 2021
20 Contestants and 64 Days Remaining
Dev
Dev Deshpande knows the exact moment he started believing in happily ever
after.
He is ten years old, sitting cross-legged in his living room, staring up at the television in awe at Ever After. It’s like the stories he reads before bed, tented under Star Wars sheets long after his parents have told him to turn out the lights—stories about knights and towers and magic kisses. It’s like the movies he watches with his babysitter Marissa, stories about corsets and handsome men with dour faces and silent dances that say everything. Stories that make his heart feel too big for his small body. Except Ever After is better than those stories because it’s real. It’s reality
television.
Goodreads Blurb:
Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it’s no wonder then that he’s spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise’s history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star.
Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn’t believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he’s a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he’s cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off.
As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they’ll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.
