Description
'So much fun!' - Lilly Wachowski
'Horrifying and delightful' - Kristen Arnett
Patricia Wants to Cuddle follows Renee, who has made it to the final four. But is she dying to win? Renee should be thrilled to have been chosen as one of the final four contestants in The Catch, the world's biggest reality show. But as she, the other contestants, and Jeremy 'the Catch' arrive on the remote, wooded island for the final show, Renee begins to wonder if there's something wrong. Is she taking a bigger risk than she realised?
As she and the other contestants begin their final challenges, they slowly start to realise that the island they've been taken to is hiding a terrifying secret—one that could make the final Elimination Event all too real.
