- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I discovered Last Family Standing while browsing aimlessly on Goodreads. One of the primary reasons I got into book-related fora and social media was to broaden my horizons as a reader, and certainly this novel is well outside the bounds of my preferred genres -- literary, historical, mystery. But, the story line struck me as quite fresh and interesting. Author Jennifer AlLee's novel promises more than page-turning drama with both birth parent-child reunion and reality show competition story-lines packed between the two covers. What sparked my interest was the proposed juxtaposition of a vulnerable character facing an important crossroads in her life journey with the cynical thematic perspective and the raw action and result focused narrative I would expect to find in any story told against that very particular cultural backdrop we know as reality television.So, I entered a Goodreads giveaway, got lucky, and received a free copy of this book in exchange for posting an honest review after reading (that's what this is)! Last Family Standing was a decidedly enjoyable reading experience for me, and I expect that many readers who gravitate towards the fictional genres this book and AlLee's other works typify will be we;;=satisfied with this offering. In the end, the clash I perceived between the two threads of the novel's plot didn't produce any literary fireworks. However, this prize was more than just an enjoyable read in a genre and style far afield from my usual haunts, Allee's novel made quite a memorable impression on me. From the very first paragraph until the end, this author's remarkably fluid prose drew me into close sympathy with the narrator and protagonist. The reader experiences the protagonist's consciousness more than she observes it from her position outside the text. At least, that's how I read it. I'm not talking about an absorbing story; what I mean is that the writing flowed so that I followed the narrator's thinking as she shifted from topic to topic and experienced specific moments in time consciously. I hope that makes some sense; I definitely liked this quality of AlLee's storytelling. I am so glad I stumbled upon this randomly; it was a rewarding read.
