Lorelei Branch is a struggling actress and actually lands a part-time gig on a reality show. That is until she does not get picked as a permanent cast member and her mother, Colleen, launches into a racist rant on national TV and ruins any future Lorelei may have in the public eye. Lorelei decides to cut ties with her mother, who is overly attached to her. The story centers around Lorelei's descent into drug use and her mother's search to find her. To that end, Colleen agrees to be in a reality show with a staged intervention to get the family back together.
This book started out kind of slow, but then it got more interesting. The main characters were not very likeable, but the story line really hooked me. I gave this an 8 out of 10 just because it did start out kind of slow and I wasn't sure I was going to finish it, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
