Andie needs money to keep her wedding dress business afloat. Kit wants to make his mom happy because she is so ill. As a result, old college flings end up matched together in a reality show that has them marrying sight unseen. We start off with a lot of emotions, and we know there will be bumps along the way. Ingrid Pierce draws us in to the drama quickly, and has us invested until the end. Andie struggles with trusting those around her, because everyone always leaves. These feeling are brought to life in a realistic way as we discover her history alongside Kit. We also feel her frustration with Kit as Pierce reveals his history at a snails pace (which totally makes sense in the end).
I do enjoy reality tv at times, and liked how this was presented. It would totally invade every aspect of you life! I was a little confused, however, by the fact that the way to collect the winnings was by having the marriage fail. There didn’t seem to be a prize for them if they stayed together. I thought the reward would come if they made it work
