Not Here to Make Friends
She's the reality TV villain everyone will love to hate. He's the producer tasked with making it happen. What could go wrong? A hilarious, heartfelt rom-com from Australia's leading romance expert. Reality TV producer Murray O'Connell is used to being in control. He's the showrunner for reality dating show Marry Me, Juliet, and that means he's the boss: he controls the cast, the crew and the story. Until Lily Fireball turns up. Lily is everything viewers love to watch: she's feisty, dramatic, and not afraid to cause a stir. Her villain narrative on the show should be the cherry on top of the cake of Murray's perfect season, but what no one knows is that Murray already knows Lily. Not as Lily Fireball, but as Lily Ong: his former best friend. Now Lily has thrust herself back into Murray's life, and into the most stressful season he's ever worked on. Why is she here? What is her agenda? And why can't Murray just concentrate on his job, instead of fighting to shield her from hateful viewers - and keep her with him forever?

What happens when your "estranged best friend and former co-showrunner" shows up on the first day of filming, but this time as a contestant? Mess.
These characters are messy in the most fun way. They are selfish and manipulative and not always very good people, but I was rooting for them to figure their shit out from page 1.
I still need to read book 2 but I really like that all 3 books in this series can stand alone but also take place during the same time frame. Even though you know how the season will play out, McAlister did a great job making the romance in each book the focus so we aren’t completely treading the same path each time. It is also a lot of fun seeing how the same characters get perceived differently depending on who the main character is.
Overall book 1 worked better for me, but I still loved this book!
