Alice Chen's Reality Check
BY KARA LOO & JENNIFER YOUNG

Alice Chen doesn’t believe in love, but she does believe in cold hard cash. Struggling with student loan debt and her mother’s medical bills, she’s desperate for a better life. When her fiancé suggests that they compete on Dawn Tay’s Inferno, a new reality TV show designed to put couples to the test, she leaps at the chance to make a million dollars while sipping cocktails on the beach. But two big surprises are waiting for Alice in paradise: She comes face-to-face with her former academic rival, Daniel Cho, who happens to be a fellow competitor (and is way hotter than he used to be), and her fiancé cheats on her with another contestant. Forced to leave the show or pair up with Daniel, Alice chooses to fake date her onetime nemesis to stay in the game.

As if pretending to be in love with her rival isn’t bad enough, Alice’s plan for winning the competition is endangered again when a dead body turns up on set. Soon, Alice and Daniel must uncover the secrets of the cast and crew to catch the killer—all while Alice must figure out if her feelings for Daniel are really just for the cameras.

Packed with humor, heart, and plenty of romance, Alice Chen’s Reality Check is the perfect pick for romance readers and fans of authors such as Helen Hoang, Jesse Q. Sutanto, and Jayci Lee, or anyone who can’t wait for the next season of Love Island.
