The House of My Mother by Shari Franke was an incredibly captivating book about the influence of family vlogging on Shari Franke and her siblings. Coming into this book, I had a lot of knowledge on this case as I grew up watching 8 Passengers. Like many of their fans, I also was incredibly shocked at hearing about the trauma and sadistic influence that Jodi Hildebrant and Ruby Franke had on the family. This book perfectly captures Shari’s perspective, along with introducing new events and topics that were unheard of in her upbringing. Readers are able to see the different ways in which Ruby controlled the family. From the beginning of 8 Passengers to the split of Kevin and Ruby, Shari does an amazing job at bringing the reader through the landslide of emotions and chaos she faced during the entirety of her life. This book has become one of my all-time favorite reads and I was gripped during all of it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, not only 8 Passengers fans, because it shows the truth behind social media and family vlogging. Could not put it down, I would give this book a 5!
