Like, I'm pretty sure they were not out of money and just wanted to be famous. Also, for all that she's famous for being a good mom, it sure seems like the three oldest kids do all the damn parenting. ARGH.<br /><br />MATT AND BENTON = my favorite part. Patrick and Chloe are cute, but he's a bit too perfect. Oh, and yes I love how much it's about her and Benton being best friends. And that it didn't go the way of the Brady Bunch movie and hook up some non-related siblings, bc thankfully all of those are too young for that sort of drama.<br /><br />I don't know about hats, but it certainly wears a lot of TVs. I just wish it had kept the ARC cover, which I think is pretty.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-5332653953771180372014-02-12T10:42:04.516-08:002014-02-12T10:42:04.516-08:00I want this so bad.

Like them a decade in the future and their lives/trials put on some serious crack. I view reality television as a non-gory subset of horror, so yeah, this one got me good.<br /><br />The book had me from the opening chapters but cemented my love when the mom decided to out Benton on television and Bonnie/Chloe and Benton decided to wear tape over their mouthes. Weren't those such punch-in-the-gut moments? I lost count of how many times I wanted to shake the mom down, mostly because of the screaming toddler a couple of feet away from me. I tried to count and she messed me up!<br /><br />Awesome review, Jessie. This book deserves so much love and attention and I'm sad it probably won't get much at all.Ashleigh Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340582534158708575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-36387858592328185362014-02-05T14:56:58.181-08:002014-02-05T14:56:58.181-08:00Ugh.
