The Dating Game
‘Hilarious and highly original’
Julie Houston, bestselling author of A Village Affair
Once upon a time, twelve women joined the hottest reality TV show looking for love. Except one had a secret identity . . .
Abby Jones is a serious writer. Or at least she will be, one day. Right now, she spends her time writing recaps of reality television under a secret identity.
When a recap for The Stag – the must-watch dating show – goes viral, her editor thinks she should be on set, writing the drama as it happens. The good news: the next season will be filmed in Sydney. Sun, sea and a glamorous trip abroad, this could be Abby’s big break.
The bad news: the producers don’t just want Abby to write the recaps, they want her to be on the show. Abby can’t think of anything worse than being undercover and followed around by cameras. But her career depends on it, and when she meets gorgeous producer Jack, Abby begins to wonder if this job might not be so bad after all . . .

My Review
I've enjoyed all Sandy's other books but this one seemed not to really gel with me as much. I liked the slow-burn romance between Abby and Jack and the dilemma between Anastasia and Abby. However, reading Anastasia's reports wasn't as much fun as watching Abby experience the show and didn't seem to add much.
I didn't really like many of the other contestants and am not a huge fan of reality TV so although the book was humorous in parts, i think it would appeal more to someone who is really into such shows.
Thank you for being on the tour.
