I love books about reality television so I was excited to get an e-ARC of this, but had to abandon the ARC pretty quickly because this book has a lot of footnotes and the formatting got screwed up in the ARC, so I just waited for the finished copy to be out. Sidenote: I don't think the footnotes added a lot to this overall. Also: I think it's weird that this family and their show are basically positioned as an equivalent of the Kardashians, but the Kardashians also exist in this world. I feel like they shouldn't! That's just, like, my opinion.

I really liked the basic premise of this and the ~insidery~ feel it had for reality television production, and I really liked Bentley as a character.

That said, the full plot is simultaneously very convoluted and very neatly resolved, and yet also I didn't really buy the romance.

I'd rec it to fans of reality television; it's a quick, fun read.
