Here for the Right Reasons
Here for the Right Reasons | Jodie McAlister
4 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
A hilarious and heart-warming romantic comedy that examines how the unlikeliest of loves can bloom in - well, the most likely of places. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and The Spanish Love Deception. When Cece James agrees to be cast as a 'Juliet' on the next season of the hit television show Marry Me, Juliet, it's certainly not for the right reasons. She's knee deep in debt and desperate for the associated paycheck. The last thing on her mind is the hunky 'Romeo' waiting for her at the end of the gravel driveway. But Dylan Jayasinghe Mellor isn't your usual fame-hungry TV star. An Olympic gold medallist with calloused hands, kind eyes and a propensity for panic attacks, it turns out he's not here for the right reasons either. As spokesperson for a men's mental health foundation, and the franchise's first non-white male lead, Dylan's got a charity to plug and something to prove. When Cece gets eliminated on the first night, it seems like her and Dylan's awkward first meeting will be their last conversation. But when the TV set is shut down unexpectedly, Cece and Dylan suddenly get a little more time together than they'd expected. Will love bloom when the cameras stop rolling?

And this book was, in fact, very much not a bad idea! Set on a Bachelor-style reality show that's locked in a pandemic bubble, it's touching and fun.

Content notes for ex foster care stories, anxiety disorders, brief references to past physical abuse, and of course on-set face-slapping.

I picked this up last night for the #pandemic prompt of #Booked2023. It's a rom-com set in a Bachelor-style reality set in a pandemic bubble.
