I devoured this book in three sittings. Would have stayed up all night to read it all at once if I could have! I hope Braverman has other stories to tell. I want more from her!

I wish there had been consequences for the producer. It was a little unsatisfying that it never happened.

My only wish is that this book had been longer!! I tore through it - the pacing was good and fast. I just wanted more details at the end and at some parts throughout, too, if I’m being honest. I want to keep living this story and these characters. I think I remember the author talking about the slowness of nature in some of the episodes she did for You’re Wrong About, and I think it would have been nice to feel that more from the writing. 

All of these are just my wishes that grow from how much I loved this book!!

This book was all of the things I love, reality tv, suspense, and a journey. I love Blair from her appearances on You're Wrong About and those episodes primed me to absorb and adore this book. Amazing! I recommend it highly.
