'So much fun!' Lilly Wachowski 'Horrifying and delightful' Kristen Arnett Renee has made it: she's in the final four. But is she dying to win? Renee should be thrilled to have been chosen as one of the final four contestants in The Catch, the world's biggest reality show. But now she, the other contestants, and Jeremy 'the Catch' have arrived on the remote, wooded island for the final show, Renee begins to wonder if there's something wrong. Is she taking a bigger risk than she realised? And as she and the other contestants begin their final challenges, they slowly start to realise that the island they've been taken to is hiding a terrifying secret - one that could make the final Elimination Event all too real. 'Not one to miss . . . a funny, eccentric page-turner that you will absolutely love.' Daily Mail 'A really fun read that's ultimately about finding a place in the world where you can be accepted for who you are.' Stylist 'Good fun.' The Times 'Fun, gruesome, and queer!' Bookriot What readers are saying 'THIS WAS INSANE IN THE BEST WAY I AM OBSESSED' 'A gloriously bonkers book' 'This book sucked me in and I couldn't put it down!' 'One of my favorite books this year!!' 'A wild ride from start to finish!' 'If you love the Bachelor and/or you love slasher films, you CANNOT miss this book. It is so, so fun.' 'I am so glad this book is in my life.'

      Allen (Real Queer America) debuts with an amusing and jolting look at a dating show gone horribly wrong. Four contestants on the reality show The Catch—think Naked and Afraid meets The Bachelor—converge on an eerie island in the Pacific Northwest. There’s the reserved Renee Irons, Christian influencer Lilah-Mae Adams, shrewd model Vanessa Voorhees, and cheerful vlogger Amanda Parker. All face harrowing events as they vie for a spot in the show’s finale (and a proposal from entrepreneur Jeremy Blackstone). With only two weeks to go, the women try to advance their goals, which vary from finding true love to boosting their social media brands—but they soon begin to glimpse a mysterious “creature” named Patricia lurking in the shadows. When Patricia finally strikes, the results are grotesque and shocking, laying bare the island’s dark history. The characters, however, often feel flat, with insufficient details about the women’s lives, and Allen leaves several loose ends dangling. Still, she cleverly explores themes of human connection, social acceptance, and the harms of social media as the contestants vie for what they want and the show’s producer takes staggering measures to boost ratings. Despite the flaws, there’s enough invention here to keep readers on board. Agent: Leila Campoli, Stonesong.
