I never watched this show but I loved to read the snark on Television Without Pity. I thought Jill did a good job with this book. She told a balanced story.

This book was as transparent as I hoped and I was really into it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book gave me such immense anxiety, but wow! An intense and horrifying story that is guaranteed to keep you glued to the pages.
Edited to add: Loved the narrator on this #audiobook.
I‘m on the team helping with our county‘s Battle of the Books for 5th-8th grades at the local schools, and this was one of the assigned books for the 7th/8th grade group. What a heartbreaking, eye-opening read. 😭 #freelunch #rexogle #memoir
Clever and suspenseful!! Fifteen year old, Jo who is a skilled con artist, assumes the identity of a same-age girl who‘s been missing…When you understand Jo‘s nontypical previous life, you can see how she got to this point. Tense and twisty!

Sad story. Hard to believe something so tragic could have actually have happened with so many people turning their backs and not doing anything to help out.
I am actually so surprised by this book. Jill‘s ghost writer is better than Mariah Carey‘s (and Britney Spears‘). I binged 19 Kids and Counting when I was recovering from my hysterectomy and it seemed obvious at the time that the kids were being exploited but jeez.
Look I love reality tv and I love a good background look into the drama. Better yet that there‘s some intense religious vibes and serious wrongdoing of many kinds here. An excellent recommendation from a friend that I greedily consumed on audio.
I‘ve never watched a second of any of the Duggar‘s shows. 19 children just seemed religiously cult-y. So why did I listen to this? Because it‘s what was available to listen to on Libby. 😊 It turned out to be a thoughtful piece on a person who had to work very hard to separate from her father & a media company. Being the first (and maybe only one) in a family to recognize the wrongs inflicted within a family is very tough & I applaud her.
