5.0

This book gave me major feelings of nostalgia for the wild era of early reality tv. I felt like the family, even missing Ruthy, were well fleshed out and felt so “real.” These were women I could see as my mother or my sister. The plot was, in hindsight, very bonkers but so neatly done that I was very into it and really believing what was happening was real. Ultimately I found this book to be heartbreaking and so full of love and pain.
