    Lovell Holder's debut novel The Book of Luke is set in the world of reality TV with a splash of politics.

As the book mixes Luke's personal story with past and present seasons of the reality show within the book, Lovell also discusses how The Challenge and even his childhood love of Into the Woods influenced what he was creating. As a bonus at the end, there's a short chat about The Traitors!
