Love Island Love Lesson 4: Don’t Play Games #Maura
Some people will look down their noses at you for lounging in front of Love Island when you could be reading The Guardian or watching a documentary.

Because it turns out that’s exactly what we are doing.
Say goodbye to whatever Friday night plans you had, because it’s all about to go down in the villa!
