Frat Girl door Kiley Roache
6.5/10, another preachy book, this time about sexism and feminism, I'm not a fan of books that like to overtly push their messages to me.
“I’ve only ever been loved like a Top 40 song—the latest hit, the hot new thing. Something fleeting, bubbly and fun; nothing serious. But just once, I’d like to be loved like a poignant, timeless ballad.”
out of this entire book this was the one quote that stood out to me the most. it was one of those quotes that i instantly needed to highlight because it made me feel something. i think everyone has had a thought similar to this at least once in their lives.
the overall book left me kind of disappointed because i had such high hopes for it. the idea of having a murder mystery in a content house really intrigued me and excited me to read but the characters seemed quite flat to me and one dimensional.
it also felt unrealistic at times where i was expecting more realism due to its more modern feel. however, i did enjoy reading it and there were moments of the book that had me feeling that same initial excitement when i first marked this as a to be read… (meer)

I'm surprised that this book hasn't gathered more momentum, as it is definitely glossy, timely, and intriguing. I really enjoyed this, and it's definitely a great choice for a YA thriller. The audio production, featuring 6 voice actors, was excellent, although I might have followed the print with more ease in terms of keeping all of the influencers separate. I have zero interest in TikTok and this confirms that! Fun read.
The Dating Game details the ups and downs of 3 college freshmen as they develop the new “it” app for on-campus dating for the notoriously difficult future entrepreneur class. Love, drama, and laughs ensue in this fun and quick read from Kiley Roache, perfect book for a single sitting.
Things I Liked
I love having college settings in books. The characters have more freedom and independence and let the situations be more mature and dramatic.
Girls in STEM fields is always a plus as well - and the genuine and supportive friendship between Sara and Yaz was wonderful.
Roberto was most definitely my favorite character and I loved him with everything in my heart. He is so kind and really just a perfect person. And he has one of the most beautiful inner monologues about lost love that was so supremely lovely. His relationship with his dad wonderful too. They have such a tight knit relationship after Roberto’s mom was deported when he was younger - it’s a horrible reality that is not shied away from in the story.
Things I Didn’t Like
I get the whole point of the story is a dating app, but I unfortunately wasn’t really sold on any of the romances in the story. I didn’t even mind that there was a bit of a love triangle because I genuinely hate one couple/thought they had no chemistry and thought the other wasn’t given enough buildup so I was largely uninvested.
Braden is the worst! He is the embodiment of white male privilege and arrogance and he sucks as a human being.
The Dating Game is a easy to read story that will entertain and frustrate you at the same time. While I didn’t love the romances - and that is definitely a bigger part of the story - I thought that the story did have some wonderful character moments, especially from Roberto, that made me enjoy it.
I received a copy of the book from Inkyard Press via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.… (meer)
