About this audiobook

Survivor meets The Bachelor in Attached at the Hip, an irresistible, romantic adventure by New York Times bestselling author Christine Riccio.

Orie Lennox has spent her entire life prepping for her happily ever after -- and now that she’s graduated, she’s low-key wondering, when the heck is it gonna hit. Her love life, her new job, her relationship with her sister: none of it is quite what she envisioned it to be.

One evening, on a whim, she applies for a reality show where she’ll be stranded on an island, with a bunch of strangers, to play a game of human chess for a shot at a million dollars. What better way to force herself to break up with the things that aren’t bringing her joy, than to abandon them all on short notice to live off the grid on a beach in the South Pacific!

Orie's shocked when she ends up cast in an experimental romantic edition of the show: and even more surprised to find that her old high school crush, Remy, has been cast as well. Orie's one of ten contestants, set to compete in formidable challenges, while speed dating, in the wilderness: without deodorant, toilets, shaving cream, or showers. (How!?)

She finds herself tied up — literally — in a game of risky alliances as she navigates ever-growing feelings for her one that got away, alongside an exciting array of budding new relationships.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

A great read for fans of reality shows! My emotions are all over the place with this book. It took me several chapters to like the FMC cuz she's so indecisive and can't do anything on her own, but I get that's what makes the storyline so vital. I was highly entertained by the thought of a reality dating show in a Survivor environment, and the characters did not disappoint. The only part I really struggled with was not knowing which character I could trust (as I already have huge trust issues, lol), but it ended up keeping me on my toes and really paying attention to every little detail given. I definitely couldn't survive if Attached At The Hip was a real show, but I'd certainly enjoy watching it unfold.

3.75 stars. I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Brittany Pressley. The narration was light and fun. I enjoyed this audiobook that was based on the premise of a young woman who is on a reality show (Survivor type) branch off that is trying to pair people into couples. I had fun with the basis of the story. Right from the beginning, I went into it as a light and fairly ridiculous read. If you go into it and are expecting to have everything fall into line, you will be disappointed. The sexuality of some of the characters isn't always clear, and some of the situations aren't fully developed. However, I just let it all go and just embraced the absurdity of what is similar to reality TV. Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the audiobook. All thoughts are my own.

This was fun, i found myself laughing on more than one occasion and enjoyed my time listening to it. I loved the main characters' growth and journey. The narrator did an amazing job! I really like how for different characters she changes her voice.
