The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey explores the world of reality TV and gives readers a sneak peak into the backend of the fictional world of the reality show of the Goddesses of the Garden State. To me this book was a nice break from my typical reads and brings something to the market that I haven’t seen before. My biggest qualm with the book is the pacing - I feel like the author should have spread out the main plot points over the entire book instead of having them all pretty much occur within a few chapters. It just felt like a lot happening all at once. That being said, I do understand the beginning of the book needed to “world build” for the show. Overall this was a quick, easy read! I think it is a good read for reality TV lovers or anyone who wants the drama of reality TV, but in a book.
