Thank you very much to the publishers and Netgalley for sending me an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review (I later bought my own copy of the book)!
Felicity ‘Fizzy’ Chen is lost. Sure, she has an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with numerous bestsellers to her name, but when she’s asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn’t been practising what she’s preached.
She hasn’t been in love. In lust? Sure. But that swoon-worthy, can’t-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. And suddenly the optimism she’s encouraged in her readers starts to feel like a lie.
Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, loves that his work allows him to live near his daughter. Then his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show, putting it all in jeopardy. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. What if he could show the queen of romance herself falling head-over-heels? But when production on The True Love Experiment begins, Connor wonders if that perfect match will ever be in the cue cards for him too.
The minute I see that a new Christina Lauren book is on the way, I know that it will be shooting to the top of my TBR as soon as it is released. It was no different with the release of The True Love Experiment and I’m so glad I picked it up right away, as it is incredible.
Fizzy is lost, although she has an incredible career as a romance novelist it has hit her, she hasn’t been practising what she’s preached. Connor, a documentary filmmaker and single father, loves his job or so he thought until his boss orders him to make a reality TV show. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. Hopefully, he can show the queen of romance falling head-over-heels. But, when production on The True Love Experiment begins, Connor wonders if he will ever find his perfect match too.
I absolutely adore the premise of this book. As someone who has spent hours of her life watching reality TV dating shows I was instantly interested. Then, when I found out the lead in the TV show falls for the show’s producer I was even more intrigued.
I love Fizzy and Connor both individually and as a pair. Fizzy is such a hilarious main character and I liked her instantly. She is sex-positive, full of humour and it was wonderful to watch her find her own joy throughout this book. Connor is the perfect love interest. He is caring, open, honest and another character I liked immediately.
Watching the chemistry build between Fizzy and Connor was amazing. The flirting and humour they both shared had me laughing out loud at times. There were so many moments throughout this book that made my heart swell and I loved it.
Christina Lauren has written a love letter to all romance fans with The True Love Experiment. Every time I read one of their books I love it even more than the last and this one is most certainly now my favourite by the writing pair. It is perfect for those who love found family, friends-to-lovers, reality TV, humour and romance.
Overall, I cannot recommend The True Love Experiment enough! It is funny, heart-warming and perfect for romance and dating TV show fans. Christina Lauren has done it again and I can’t wait for their next book. In the meantime, give this one a read!
