I passed on this until I read your review. I’m not into reality TV nor televangelists. But this was an excellent read. Thanks for a great review.

What a fabulous review! You got to the heart of the book so well. I agree with everything you said and thought it was the perfect blend of summer reading and a social conscience. I wonder what the Duggars think about it?

Maybe the next book will be about Lissa!

In reply to Tracie. Isn't it great when a debut author has such a strong first showing. I look forward to more from Weir. (Did you know she's a pediatrician?)

In reply to Angela. I really like reality TV, too and this is eye-opening. It's a perfect lighter summer read.

In reply to JoAnn @ Lakeside Musing. If you enjoy audio, then definitely listen to this one. The Narrators are SO good.

Such a good point about Lissa! I definitely wanted more of her. And a little more elaboration about how she mentally came around to getting involved again.

I loved this book. Wasn’t sure what to expect; but it nailed the insider view of reality tv. A bit dark, but with likeable characters. I totally agree that the only thing I could pick on was the lack of development of Lissa. Missed opportunity; but a minor flaw. Loved this one!

I read the book last month and I loved it this was my favorite book of my June reading by far.
