this was a fun read. i think the premise was really cool. for a young adult it had a good spin on the infleuncer subject. i think they could leanr a think or two without it feeling like they were. about the industry and perhaps the things the run it. often wroking agaisnt the viewers themsevles.

im not sure whether as an adult i didnt have as much fun with the over thinking i got from this book ha. because i actually saw so much more in the plot than maybe was meant. a influencer who gets her following via mind control. well, to me that all feels pretty normal. because surely we all realize this is going on. influencers are NOT who they say they are. they lie. cheat. sometimes do the worst of behavior and lie to gt following. they create lives to get that following. lives within second long reels. put the camera down and in this case we have someone with superpowers. but put the camera down on people in our world and we have fakes. and as is coming out we have abusers. we have people who are actively trying to pull the wool over their followers lives. followers who seek a need of connection or community. who live off being "seen". and in doing so these influencers have such a toxic roll in creating what they need to get this adoration. weve created a platform for narcissists. and in doing so the companies then make money from them. as the industry thrives of what these narcs can push to their audience. its like a ladder of a feeding frenzy where sadly the people at the bottom ie the viewers, always come out on bottom. to me my mind spiraled into that too much for this one to be enjoyed as much as it should have. but i think this says more about me. having just lost a young person, someone directly related to this i was hoping it might be a ight reprieve. but i think i wasnt ready for it. and that is entirely on me. but i equally didnt want to lie in my review.
for most i think this could be a bright and fab book. i loved the concept and it was as pink and bright as the cover. so i can actually only apologies.
but i dint want to give a flimsy review and not explain my reason. the book and author deserve better than that.

Charlie is a fashion influencer until her ex-bf reveals her ability to read minds and mind-control. Fallen from fame, she is asked out by a guy. As it turns out, she is asked to be a conestant on The Super Date, a new reality dating show for supernormals.

It's kind of a fun The Bachelor for super heroines and villainess? Love the fun and the concept. Love the side-characters too. What a refreshing story.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

This book is a fun fast-paced YA fantasy that blends reality TV drama with magical twists.

It's refreshing, entertaining read for fans of fantasy with a modern edge.

This was such a fun read! It is about the influencer world which is so highly popular these days but with a twist. It was so fun to follow our MC’s journey and see her redeem herself while meeting some unique and quirky characters along the way in a reality show competition
