I read this on holiday and I just wanted a light hearted holiday read, but this was just plain bad :/ totally forgettable and just silly really. Glad other people liked it though!

This book was lent to me by a friend and I did not expect to read it, let alone quite enjoy it. However it ended up being a bit of a guilty pleasure. It was a pretty quick read and would be a good holiday book, keeps the reader guessing throughout and there were some unexpected twists. References human psychology and the dark side to reality television.

This book was very entertaining and lead me to think more about the ethics of reality tv shows
