ive enjoyed heather gudenkaufs writing in the past so i was immediately intrigued when i was invited to join the blog tour for her newest title everyone is watching then i read the blurb and i knew i simply had to read it i absolutely loved the sound of the reality tv angle and how things seemed to be a lot darker than just a bit of over the top drama you usually see on those shows and i couldnt wait to dive in and discover just how far things would go spoiler alert even further than you can imagine i had an absolute blast reading this storybefore i continue i have to confess that everyone is watching is not for everyone you definitely have to be able to suspend your disbelief in able to enjoy this story and i mean big time the plot is both extremely over the top and lacks credibility which i personally didnt mind at all with the entertainment level being through the roof and all i was having too much fun to spend time wondering just how credible the situation would be and how on earth the contestants wouldnt run away screaming after the first signs of just how twisted one lucky winner would be i guess that they do have 10 million reasons not to do so but still if you think you cant look past this i would suggest passing up on this story if you are able to just go with the flow you are in for one heck of a rideim keeping this review short because i dont want to give away too much and spoil the plot twists and the clever way everything fits together in the end a very well constructed plot indeed everyone is watching uses a multiple pov structure where we switch between all five contestants the assistant slash host of the show and multiple viewers although those povs are minor there are also a couple flashback chapters to the past revealing more information about what certain characters are hiding and how it relates to the present this all sounds like a lot but somehow its quite easy to keep track of it allmost of the characters arent exactly likeable but in this case it didnt really matter as the main focus is on the reality show and everything that happens and trust me you will be too busy with every crazy twist and event the plot throws at you to crave a stronger character development just as you think the plot has reached its peak level of disturbing yet another event is introduced that will bowl you over again this plot is by no means credible but it is so deliciously twisted and exhilarating the writing itself is once again engaging and it is very easy to just keep turning those pages especially since i simply had to know how everything would endeveryone is watching is one of those books you either hate or love depending on how you react to over the top high octane and seriously twisted rollercoaster rides i personally had a blast with this story though and i can imagine it would make a fantastic movie adapation
