Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV by Emily Nussbaum

informative medium-paced

5.0

as someone who is terminally annoying about reality tv, i absolutely LOVED this book. it's incredibly informative about the shows that influenced and built the reality television programs of today and provides a lot of illuminating information about the behind-the-scenes production of reality shows. even as someone who has followed reality tv her whole life and has seen some of the foundational seasons mentioned, i walked away with so much extra information. i also think it's very approachable, and i could comfortably recommend this to anyone who is interested in the book but isn't as well versed in reality tv. it's very comprehensive and 1000% worth the read!
