This story of grief bringing out both the worst and best in people had a cool narrative device.
Life in a Fishbowl | 
Just released on 1/3, this book sounds so enticing and unlike anything I have ever read before! Can't wait to read this!
| SYNOPSIS |
Fifteen-year-old Jackie Stone is a prisoner in her own house. Everything she says and does 24/7 is being taped and broadcast to every television in America. Why? Because her dad is dying of a brain tumor and he has auctioned his life on eBay to the highest bidder: a ruthless TV reality show executive at ATN.

This is a darkly comic YA novel satirizing contemporary society's obsession with reality TV. It's also an exploration of family, love, identity, and the value of life. There are obviously some deeply affecting moments but the overall message is one of hope. I would definitely recommend this book but be prepared for an emotional ride.
pickI enjoyed this but it is challenging and subversive. My long review for #netgalley is now at my blog https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2017/01/03/review-life-in-a-fishbowl-by-le... it will be decisive among readers, I think.

ATN twists their words and makes a public mockery of their lives. Jackie is determined to end the show and reclaim all of their lives, even in death.
