Review Detail

The Lo Family sticks together. Honor has heard this since childhood. Her family was part of the popular reality TV show Lo and Behold. Though the show is now off the air, the Lo family has podcasts, conferences, brand partnerships, and more. When Honor's father and mother decide to separate, Honor worries about her world collapsing. Honor takes it upon herself to be the mediator to get her family back on track, but then her older sister gets sick. Drama happens all around her. Honor finds it hard to trust anyone, including those close to her.

What worked: Think YA influencers meet The Kardashians. This family is messy with all the drama behind the scenes. Kind of like a 'real' family. But unlike a 'real' family this Lo family has people around them sign NDA to keep truths behind wraps.

Fans of Reality shows will enjoy the Lo family as it navigates life after the parents separate and more. Honor struggles to make sense of her world-changing. I admit, it was hard at first to like Honor and any of her siblings. They did seem like out-of-touch celebrities, but then again, they were children when they were on a Reality TV series. I think of that one TLC show Jon and Kate Plus 8 and the huge outcry when Jon and Kate divorced.

The dialogue is punchy and carries the story as Honor and her siblings move on. Honor's relationship with her twin Atticus is realistic. The older sister Skye's story of having cancer takes a wild twist at the end.

There are romantic elements that include the aloof Caden who has issues of his own. Some of his interactions with Honor came across as insensitive at times. I also didn't feel the chemistry between these two.

I did like seeing behind the scenes of an influencer family with all the not-so-good parts that the media is quick to hide. The toxic positivity attitude of the father is shown from the very beginning. And kudos for not sugar-coating the ending.

Influencer Family meets real-world drama with an oh my gosh ending reveal.
