A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

YOU'VE READ THE BOOK, SO WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND? I finished Carolyn Parkhurst's Lost and Found last night (which a few folks in the comments have mentioned), and although I barrelled through it, I'm still not sure what to think of it. The book uses a fictional TAR-esque reality show as a prism to examine its competitors, using rotating narrators to follow the teams from place to place. It's a strange book, satirizing reality TV, the idea of "ex-gay," and having some wickedly funny things to say about 80s-90s sitcoms and child stars, while simultaneously going to some very dark places--a mother/daughter team has a secret that's right out of a Jodi Picoult book (seriously, Plain Truth) and a man coping with his son's illness--in Lost-esque flashbacks. I'm still not sure if it works--some of the narrators and plot threads are far more interesting than others, one of the more interesting narrators (the show's host) is given short shrift, and the book goes on a bit after a climactic confrontation in Northern Ireland to an ending that leaves the reader with a sense of "and?"--but it's still worth reading.
