Kiss the Sky (Calloway Sisters, #1; Addicted, #2.1) - Krista & Becca Ritchie
Rating | ★★★☆☆ Goodreads | Published February 20th 2014 by K.B. Ritchie
If I'm being honest here, reality television makes me feel icky. I detest the idea that people broadcast their lives to the public.It feels like such an invasion of privacy for them; I just feel terrible and I don't understand why people subject themselves to such scrutiny. Sometimes, this book made me cringe, and the ending was irritating. I wanted Scott Van Wright to die. He is, hands down, one of the most disgusting people I have ever read. But...I did love the rest of the characters. I absolutely do not understand why anyone would subject themselves to the horrors of being on a reality TV show, but I did like them a lot. Rose was intelligent, headstrong, and ambitious. Connor was powerful, intelligent and caring. A true power couple, and I wanted to see them win. I haven't read the previous novels (I just didn't feel like it), but I really liked the side characters Lily, Lo, Ryke, and Daisy too. It was nice to see their group dynamic and their protective family nature. All of them were immensely flawed, but it was refreshing to see them attempting to cope with their problems. I just don't find it believable that they would attempt to do such a thing on reality TV. I don't like much new adult, so overall, this did comparatively well with me. It was entertaining and endearing, but still hopelessly mired in melodrama at times. I just...honestly, I wish there had been no reality TV aspect to this at all. No cameras. No crazy production managers. I think the book could be rewritten 1000% better without all of that. The plot was just weird and not plausible to me. The characters seem smarter than the decision they make. And the ending *shudders*, I want to see Scott Van Disgusting suffer. But hey, it's wasn't bad.
