Cleaning out Mt. TBR.
I decided not to keep this book, so I'll be sending it off into the world, unread.

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–Heres a fast-paced novel featuring a reality TV show that is like The Amazing Race and Treasure Hunt combined. Contestants have personal secrets and have been chosen specifically because producers hope that they will spill their guts for ratings. The action focuses on four characters. Justin and Abby are a married couple, a lesbian and a gay man who have renounced their lifestyles and proudly carry the banner of their newfound faith while they both struggle to remain straight. Although described as young, these two seem much older than their years in their pursuit of a traditional marriage. Meanwhile, the mother-daughter team of Laura and Cassie deals with the fact that the girl gave birth without anyone even noticing that she was pregnant. When she is given the chance to choose a different teammate–and does–emotions and rivalry ratchet up exponentially. Teens may well relate to Cassie, who feels alienated from her mother and unable to communicate about the most basic parts of her personality (most notably, that she is attracted to women). Lauras reaction is that of love and guilt. Despite being rejected, she keeps trying to find a way to connect to her daughter. An over-the-top, dramatic ending leaves some loose ends, but there is satisfaction in the resolution for a couple of the characters. Older teens may find that this book presses just the right buttons.–Charlotte Bradshaw, San Mateo County Library, CA

My Review: This was such a wonderful book! I really enjoyed it. I watch a few contest type of reality shows, this reminds me of The Amazing Race. It's a scavenger hunt all over the world for partners/couples. The characters were so different and interesting. Each pair has a secret/story and the people who run the show are trying to get them to reveal their story in the most salacious way. The Laura character appealed to me most. I was really rooting for her to have a happy ending. (I'm not going to tell you if she has one, you'll just have to read the book.) ;-)

Sorry it took me so long to read this one! Offered as a RABCK to another bookcrosser.

Thank you so much for the RABCK! Looking forward to reading this one. If I remember correctly, I have read one other book by this author and loved it so added her other books to my wishlist. Thanks again and to all others who have allowed this gem to travel to me.
