Review: Patricia Wants to Cuddle - Samantha Allen - June 2022 This book caught my attention with its quirky cover and title. It reminded me of a film festival-type read and screamed fun and weird. It was this and more as we are initially introduced to a reality show called The Catch - it is similar to The Bachelor. The show is almost coming to an end with the finals as we are down to four females left vying for the chance to be the chosen one and date Jeremy - our sleazy creepy Bachelor. The four remaining are Vanessa, Renee, Lilah Mae, and Amanda. Each with its roles to play - Renee is black and bisexual, Vanessa is your beauty and brains, Lilah-Mae is your social Christian Influencer, and Amanda - is a beauty but airhead. The semi-finals are being held on a remote island called Otter Island. Things are a bit off though when they arrive, as Dex sees an arm in the water and Mike swerves his car and almost hits a hairy naked big man. During the book, strange things are happening around ...
