I mean, he was a little *too* perfect, but all the same, he was actually a good guy and I much prefer that over the douchey guys some book girls fall for. I'm sorry this one didn't work out for you...I think it was my anger and annoyance that led me to connect with the story so well because I already loathe reality TV. In fact, my whole review was all about the emotions I went through as I read this book. Thanks for the honest review, Summer!starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-22356989244115302182014-03-22T22:12:06.293-04:002014-03-22T22:12:06.293-04:00Ha, that seems to be a well-liked analogy I guess!...Ha, that seems to be a well-liked analogy I guess!

I have this book on my shelf but have yet to pick it up. It seems like it's one of those you either love it or hate books. But I'm definitely curious so I'm probably going to read it.

I really liked it--and I HATE reality TV on the whole--so I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the characters in this were refreshing and found it to be laugh out loud funny. I'll come back and read your review in it's entirety in a bit!

I agree with you that Bonnie definitely became kind of frustrating towards the end of the story. Her mom was so awful, too! I did love Patrick, though. I just thought he was super sweet, especially with how much he cared about Bonnie. I love your analogy ;) Thanks for the amazing, honest review!

Your problem with the main character and her passiveness would annoy me as well - I absolutely hate it when characters complain but don't do anything to fix their problems. But the concept still sounds intriguing, and I'm glad the story hooked you. I don't watch reality TV, but I enjoy reading about it, so I may still give Something Real a try. :)Emily @ Forever Literaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220478018390968505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-88136009008726872212014-03-17T14:50:19.901-04:002014-03-17T14:50:19.901-04:00Hahahaha.
