Very good book. The characters kept me engaged and all of the twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put this one down!
Another good Jessica Knoll read. I'm a big fan of Luckiest Girl Alive and this one has similar whip smart internal narratives. Each of the successful women portrayed on the reality tv show are well developed so I could tell them apart and I could visualize them on their tv sets living out their made up tv drama. I'm no fan of reality tv so this is not my usual fodder- but toss in a dead body- a murdered dead body- and then I'm interested. I did not see the ending coming or the various secrets the women were hiding so in the domestic suspense category that's a definite win. Good read, mines some topics about the lengths we go to for success and fame and when it all backfires, who comes out looking good and who looks bad. It's all about who can spin it best. We live in a screwed up world.
Probably 2.5. Disappointing and not as exciting as it should've been considering I love my reality TV!
1.5 stars. I feel quite icky after reading that. I thought this was supposed to be a ‘feminist novel' but honestly all it does is perpetuate the idea that women hate each other and need to tear each other down in order to succeed. The characters were awful and shallow, only concerned with their image and how skinny they are. I'm tempted to one star it because it made me so angry, but I did finish it. Just, no.
