Survivor meets The Bachelor in Attached at the Hip, an irresistible, romantic adventure by New York Times bestselling author Christine Riccio.

Orie Lennox has spent her entire life prepping for her happily ever after -- and now that she’s graduated, she’s low-key wondering, when the heck is it gonna hit. Her love life, her new job, her relationship with her sister: none of it is quite what she envisioned it to be.

One evening, on a whim, she applies for a reality show where she’ll be stranded on an island, with a bunch of strangers, to play a game of human chess for a shot at a million dollars. What better way to force herself to break up with the things that aren’t bringing her joy, than to abandon them all on short notice to live off the grid on a beach in the South Pacific!

Orie's shocked when she ends up cast in an experimental romantic edition of the show: and even more surprised to find that her old high school crush, Remy, has been cast as well. Orie's one of ten contestants, set to compete in formidable challenges, while speed dating, in the wilderness: withoutdeodorant, toilets, shaving cream, or showers. (How!?)

She finds herself tied up ― literally ― in a game of risky alliances as she navigates ever-growing feelings for her one that got away, alongside an exciting array of budding new relationships.

Orie looks perfect on paper with her influencer job she does with her sister and dating her high school sweetheart. The only problem is she's a little too comfortable and nothing feels exciting. When her sister complains that she doesn't make any decisions on her own, Orie spontaneously applies for a Survivor themed reality show. She gets a call back and soon finds herself doing something alone. However, when she gets there, it isn't what she expects at all.

Instead of Survivor, she's on a reality dating show with survival elements. The first person she's paired with is Remy, a guy from her high school. Orie is vulnerable since she breaks up with Wes right before the show. So when she meets Remy, a chemistry like she's never felt before erupts between them and she wants to stick with him until the end. As the show continues, romance blossoms between most of the contestants and it's fun watching them develop. All of the contestants are strong contenders so who will win in the end?

ATTACHED AT THE HIP is a rom-com full of drama that is perfect for fans of Survivor. Orie is a relatable character who settles for comfort and is afraid to ruin things. But after given the opportunity, she learns the meaning of independence and how important it is. My favorite character is Osprey because he's so sweet and so much fun. The twist towards the end brings more drama and I loved it. This story definitely took a different turn than expected which make sit so much better because it wasn't just a cliche.


Final Verdict: I love the interactions between all of the contestants and how they come up with the decision to vote someone out. It had the Survivor fan in me so excited to see each challenge and who was going to be voted out next. Overall, this is perfect for fans of rom-coms who are in need of a good laugh with a side of love.
