Thank you to NetGalley for the arc.

This was a fun and interesting book, but I just really didn't enjoy the writing style. Everything else in this book was amazing, and perfect for any fans of Survivor. This is very specific, but I couldn't stand that the FMC chose to be referred to as "Picadilly". The romantic relationships in this book were very fast-moving, which includes characters making out a day after meeting each other.

Billed as a cross between The Bachelor and Survivor, this was a modern, fun twist on romance. Orie thinks she's been asked to be on Survivor, but instead, she's cast in a spin-off show that is just as much a dating game as it is one of survival. And she finds out she's there with her high school crush, Remy. I loved the uniqueness of the competitions and how the "game" unfolded. This was great fun!

Thank you so much to @wednesdaybooks for the ARC!

If you are a fan of reality tv shows like Survivor or Love Island, this is the book for you! This is an ode to all Survivor fans, with a fun romance twist mixed in. I was impressed with the detail the author put into the Survivor like competitions! She definitely did her research.

This books main character is Orie, who is a bit of a lost girl at the beginning of our book, floating through life as it goes by. She has a long time boyfriend she isn’t really into and a job she does that she isn’t passionate about.

She applies for Survivor on a whim, makes it, and finds out when she arrives that it is actually going to a a spin off show called Attached at the Hip. The rules and concept were pretty clever and I could actually envision this as a spin off show, so kudos to the author!

The book really picked up halfway through when the competition was heating up and some people were not all they appeared to be. I loved seeing Orie go through the struggles on the show figuring out who to trust.

The love interests in this show surprised me. I was pleasantly surprised by the end and was happy with how everything played out. Pick this up for a fun summer reality tv read!!

This was SO cute! I loved it so much. The tension was perfect, the pacing was great, and I loved the ending so much.

I loved the idea of this book, my two favorite things! Reality shows and romance. Orie was adorable but felt a bit immature at times. I definitely understand that panic of not knowing what to do with their life, but the author did an amazing job at keeping the tension between them alive and seriously, i was giggling and kicking my feet the entire time. I did struggle with a few of the finer details in the story, it felt like there were some consistency issues that didn’t play out correctly in my head but overall, nothing that ruined the story.

I would honestly recommend this to anyone in need of a good beach read!

I had pretty low expectations going into this because I didn't really enjoy the last book I read from this author. That being said, I was surprised that I didn't hate it! I did find the main character super annoying and the overall plot to be a bit childish but I wasn't struggling to get through it, which is a win in my book. I really don't think I will ever enjoy anything this author writes so I probably won't read more?

I liked the premise of the reality show, but the writing was try-hard, with overly quirky characters and dialogue. I didn't find our main character endearing, but rather immature and naive. I think the idea was great but the execution could use some work.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this early copy. I ended up listening to the finished audiobook from my local library. This was a super fun ya rom-com sort of book. The main character was definitely cringey at times. But it weirdly made her feel more authentic. I rolled my eyes at her so many times I don’t know how they didn’t fall out. But I was still hooked wondering whether she was right or p roping about certain characters. It was fast paced and kept me interested enough that I finished listening in one day. I would definitely recommend this one for YA lovers.

You had me at survivor meets the bachelor because who could not love those two things. I’m a sucker for a good romcom, and this was it. Please do yourself a favor and read this book.

This survivor meets the bachelor esque romance was a fun time! I enjoyed the premise of this debut novel very much. I didn't love the FMC as much as I wish I could have and wanted more chemistry. This was a fast read that was a great palette cleanser because it was so light and easy.

Orie Lennox, is 23 years old. She has been in only one relationship & has an influencer channel with her sister. Orie has yet to do something just for herself, so when she sees an opportunity to sign up for Survivor, she takes it. She is surprised when she finds out there's a romantic twist to the show. Orie & another contestant are attached to each other on an island. They have to compete for the ultimate prize & possible chance at love.

This was Perfect Match meets Survivor. I started reading this one physically & I was struggling with Orie's character. I switched to the audiobook version & the narrator, Brittany Presley, made Orie a little bit less annoying. The competition was fun. I enjoyed the different characters & how they interacted. It had drama, sabotage, & pure chaos. I would recommend the audio version for this one. It was a good time.

I’m in my trashy reality show era and this one just hit the spot so much. Really loved the twist of her high school crush being a costar. A solid beach read and definitely bingeable.

Thank you St Martin’s Press & Netgalley for the chance to read in exchange for an honest review

This book was a big booksta hit and had a lot of cute moments. I really liked the premise of the story and overall the story was cute but just ok for me. Thank you for the ARC NetGalley!

Survivor meets dating show in this wild, funny, creative page turner! Attached at the Hip was written so well I felt like I was watching the reality show where each chapter was the newest episode airing live. I loved how the characters developed and grew, how their relationships formed, and how connection I felt to all of them and their drama. I also appreciated the "just kisses" steam level. Fun, island book for summer! Thanks to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for the ARC copy!

Attached at the Hip is a survivor like romantic comedy that has a bit of a mystery and drama to it. Since all of the contestant and love matches are vying for the one million dollars, some are going to lie to get to the end. Orie and Ospry and Orie and Remy have great chemistry, but which one is real? I laughed out loud, cried and swooned while reading this one - it was a well developed and thought provoking story.

This was such a fun cant put down YA summer beach read! The characters read a little younger than they were but otherwise i really had Finn reading this one!

This book was a bit cheesy, and over dramatic. However even with all the cheesy parts I still found it enjoyable. It is a good beach day read, as it is quick, fun, and entertaining.

The main character Orie was a fun bookworm who forgets how to talk when she gets nervous, which I can relate to, and she also struggles with anxiety. She is trying to figure out who she is and what she wants out of life.

I found this book entertaining and cheesy. If you enjoy reality TV shows then this is a book for you.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read this book.

So this was billed as Survivor meets The Bachelor. I don't care about either of those shows and have never seen an episode of The Bachelor. I have, however, seen the Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, etc. because I love trashy chaotic messes. I have not seen any episodes of Survivor since the earliest seasons, I think when that Richard Hatch guy played the game how it should be played and everyone got mad at him for doing that and...winning? Still, the premise seemed fun, so I went for it.

On a whim the main character, Orie, applies to be on Survivor. But instead of it being regular Survivor, she is on a dating edition of the show. Magically, her high school crush is also on the show. The teams compete in challenges while speed dating.

The single worst thing about this book is Orie. She is the most stupid, annoying, insufferable character I have ever suffered being inside the head of. The author tried super hard to make her a quirky weirdo who would somehow charm all her challenge partners. For example, her name is just not unique enough, so she wants to be called...Picadilly.

Orie is awful. She has zero social skills at all, and apparently the other characters just loved this about her. We see how rude and selfish she is from the start in her interactions with her sister Lark and it gets worse because of her aforementioned lack of social skills.

It's been a minute since I've read this book, but I usually have no problem remembering major plot points and events. I remember literally nothing from this book except how much I hated the main character.

This was SO much fun. I was on the edge of my seat once I reached the halfway point, and I truly and deeply fell in love with the story and the characters. The characters were so lovable especially Orie (a fellow pathological people pleaser). I had a hard time getting into it at first but compared to Christine’s other books this one put her on my auto-buy authors list. You can truly see the passion for the story shine through and it made me emotional to know she probably had the time of her life writing this book. Overall, highly recommend for a summer read!!

Attached at the Hip is a fast, fun, cute read. The characters are in a live show similar to Survivor, but they get connected with a rope to other people for 3 days at a time. Much of the dialog in this story was written perfectly, and there were many instances I found myself laughing out loud. This is a great beach or vacation read if you just want something fun and engaging to enjoy while you escape.
