A fun and flirty romance, The True Love Experiment is a lighthearted take on love, reality TV, and self-discovery.
Felicity “Fizzy” Chen is a bestselling romance author who has never actually been in love. When documentary filmmaker Connor Prince casts her in a dating reality show, she unexpectedly finds herself drawn to him instead.
