Premise is very refreshing and different and even the variety show is not overly done, very relaxed. I like that no one is intentionally attention seeking and that they are a supportive group of friends. Even the reason for the breakup from the past made sense.But I just can't continue bc this is not for me. I just- I just simply cannot understand novels that require the leads go on a reality tv show to hash out their feelings. I don't know if it was serendipitous and that the ML would've never contacted the MC to reconcile if there wasn't this chance of a variety show, but sorry maybe it's bc 1. I am not an attention seeking who*e (yet lol) and 2. I'm not in entertainment (nothing wrong with either but that's why I mentally cannot understand why) bc why YOU CAN'T JUST PICK UP THE PHONE IN THE LAST 8 YEARS TO EXPLAIN URSELF AND chase the MC again WITHOUT THE WORLD WATCHING YOU?It helps that the variety show is very relaxed and respects their space so far. But I simply can't get over this mental block personally. I give it the benefit of the doubt that the ML was afraid of being rejected (bc of his guilt and insecurity which is totally fair) to reach out without an excuse of a VARIETY SHOW, but yea that's why I just don't think it's for me. I think it's a good book actually. A relaxing romance with mature characters. Personally, I just can't so I'm dropping it.
