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?

When Maya and Skye are invited to star on the reality dating show Second-Chance Romance, they’re whisked away to a beautiful mansion-along with four more of Jordy’s exes-to compete for his affections while the whole world watches. Now his face is all over the media and Skye is still wondering why he stopped calling. Skye Kaplan was always cautious with her heart until Jordy said all the right things and earned her trust. If the world only knew the real Jordy, the manipulative liar who broke Maya’s heart. It’s been two years since Maya's ex-boyfriend cheated on her, and she still can’t escape him: his sister married the crown prince of a minor European country and he captured hearts as her charming younger brother. “Wickedly funny searingly sexy.”-Kelly Quindlen, author of She Drives Me Crazy When their now famous ex-boyfriend asks them to participate in a teen reality show, two eighteen year old girls-one bent on revenge, the other open to rekindling romance-get tangled up in an unexpected twist when they fall for each other instead in Never Ever Getting Back Together by nationally and internationally-bestselling and Indie Next Pick author Sophie Gonzales.
