Jessica wants to be a contestant on the reality show LAST FAMILY STANDING. Who she invites is a surprise to everyone. The partner that she wants is the women who gave her up for adoption. The reason, she wants to meet her. But does she have something else on her mind.
Monica is not sure that she wants to be on this show. What a way to meet her daughter. Pushed by her best friend Jules, she decides to do it. Monica and Jessica have many obstacles to over come. Not just on the show, but why Monica gave her up.
Monica never realized what a klutz she is. It never fails, after each obstacle; Monica gets hurt even bringing Jessica along for the pain. Can these two end up being the LAST FAMILY STANDING?
Jennifer Allee has done something that I think no one has ever done. Jennifer Allee combines a great story with a reality show theme. I am not one to watch reality TV, but if any of the shows were like LAST FAMILY STANDING, I would watch it. It has its heartwarming parts, along with humor. There are a few things I didn't expect.
Jennifer Allee describes what contestants have to go though in this game. I am sure some it does happen in the shows that are on now. LAST FAMILY STANDING is a great book, and I would like to see a follow up to see what happen after the show ended.
Book Summary
Twenty-five years ago, Monica Stanton gave up a baby girl for adoption. Now, the thing Monica didn’t dare hope for has happened: Jessica has reentered her life . . . and brought a little drama and competition with her. Jessica is willing to meet her birth mother, but she wants the reunion to air on a reality TV show. Monica would rather chew glass than appear on TV. But she’ll swallow her pride—and a few other unsavory items—if that’s what it takes to reconnect.
As if getting to know her grown daughter while competing on a remote island isn’t hard enough, Monica is further confused when Jessica’s long-lost birth father shows up, complicating both her relationship with her daughter and the attraction Monica has to the hunky reality show host. The fruit-basket upset of emotions, accusations, and regrets might make for good TV, but will it destroy the family in the process?
