Palm Villa
It's all sun and games in Palm Villa, the hit reality TV romance, where real love – and real rivalries – compete for the grand prize.
Veronica has seen every episode of the hit reality TV show, Palm Villa, but when her best friend Emma sends in an application for her, she finds herself in the last place she ever on the show.
Ready to find love, or at least have the all-expenses-paid party of a lifetime, Veronica dives head first into life at the Villa. But she soon finds out that a summer in Palm Villa is anything but a vacation. Challenges will push emotions to the limit, and couples will be put to the ultimate test when the producers send in a bombshell…or two.
When Veronica finds a real connection, she’ll have to play by her own rules if she wants to give real love a chance in her real life.

A quick summer read ☀️
If you’re a l Love Island fan this books for you!
Thought the main character was super real and authentic while in the villa. Repping the female athletes well!
Thought it was cool to see a bit of the behind the scenes of the dating shows. I mean I would easily fall for Jake too come on now

Cute romance that scratched the itch of Love Island and other reality TV shows I sadly love. The main character made all the right choices, which made her easy to root for! But also made me want a little more chaos. I didn’t love the direction the romance went, but I think that’s just personal.
Overall a great novel debut!

This book was so much fun.
Reality TV is one of my guilty pleasures so it makes sense that a book based on a reality TV show would also be the absolute best. Palm Villa is the perfect summer read. I loved that it had multiple POVs and they added to the story rather than fill the page count. The addition of the chapters watching from outside the Villa added to the overall immersion in the story.
Veronica our FMC (like me) loves to binge all the reality TV shows. But after a nasty breakup, her best friend Emma and her make a bet where if she looses, she will have to audition for their favorite show, Palm Villa. Sure enough, Veronica loses the bet and finds herself doing an interview to be on the show. When she arrives its what she expected with hot singles everywhere. However, when Veronica finds a real connection she'll have to bend the rules if she wants a genuine connection in her life outside the Villa gates.
Thank you to the author for providing me with this ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic read!! The second I picked it up I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters and the story line taking place at the show and back home. It had a perfect amount of reality TV twists and felt like a classic reality TV show we all watch!

I was hooked from the prologue, and that does not happen very often. What an excellent book, and a debut novel at that!! 😍
