#31 Lost and Found by Carolyn Parkhurst ****


From Amazon: As two-person teams journey from Egypt to Japan to Scandinavia, the carefully constructed, TV-ready personae of the competitors slowly unravel. Employing a constantly shifting perspective, Parkhurst admirably juggles a large cast of characters, with a number of competitors emerging as standouts: squabbling mother and daughter Laura and Cassie, tormented by a secret neither of them wants to publicly acknowledge; Justin and Abby, an "ex-gay" married couple wrestling with unruly desire; and Juliet, a former child star desperately angling for a return to the limelight.

07/31/06 I really enjoyed this book! Was funny and could be on the emotional side as well. One of my favorites of the year. Kept me interested the whole way through.
