Patricia Wants to Cuddle

by Samantha Allen

Not yet rated

Reality dating show contestants are pitted against each other and whatever lurks in the wilderness in this genre-defying fiction debut. The Catch is down to its final four contestants, and the penultimate episode is taking place on Otters Island, a formerly famous "LGBTQ getaway" whose popularity declined after three hikers mysteriously disappeared in the 1990s. The women competing to marry smarmy tech company co-founder Jeremy Blackstone largely conform to stereotypes: Lilah-Mae is pro-prosperity gospel and anti-all things sexual; Amanda is an airhead obsessed with maintaining her social media presence; and Vanessa is the too-horny mean girl poised to be this season's villain. Only Renee seems singular from the jump; she's repulsed by Jeremy, coming to terms with her long-repressed attraction to women, and, as the only remaining Black contestant, keenly aware that she hasn't been eliminated already because of optics.
