About this listen

In an era of public versus private personas, a young woman decides to shake up her ordinary life by becoming a contestant on a reality television show. The manufactured paradise has no clocks, no way to contact the outside world, and nothing but time, a pool, and gorgeous people. As the days or weeks or months pass by, she discovers more about herself through the people around her and challenges her notions of identity and love. In a paradise where the only game is to fall in love, what will she do to win?

I’m not sure why the narrator of the story is in the third person. A bit confusing as I originally thought it was about a group of people. The narrator can still be non-binary and use I and me. It was very off putting

While this is a very original & clever way of looking at reality TV, I can't decide if it's brilliant or not.

The narration is excellent & I enjoyed the story as a whole; it sums up our vacuous society & obsession with fame & 'celebrity' brilliantly, but I expected more somehow & was left feeling slightly flat at the end – maybe that’s the point though.

As it's quite short, it passed the time while doing the housework but I’m glad I didn’t use a credit on it.

The story was very interesting but was elevated even further by the amazing performance of Daisy Ridley, adding such depth and emotion to the story. The enthusiasm from Daisy is phenomenal and maintained throughout, feeling as if you were following her through every detail in the story. Really hope she does more audibles in the future. Loved the story and loved Daisy.
