Eh, could have been way more interesting and compelling, turns out it was just a chick who wanted to be in a movie. Sure someone got SA'd, but let's just shy away from that terrible thing that happens to people in the film industry and focus more on vanity and being seen.

I loved it! The writing is fantastic and the plot made me guess but doubt everyone and everything at the same time. I missed reading an unreliable narrative so this served me well.

I should have stopped listening as soon as I knew it was going to be an “everyone thinks I’m crazy but I know the truth” books, but oh well.

Gave it a 3 because beginning kept me wondering. But the premise was so ridiculous and far fetched. Mia was too naive (didn’t even google Emily?!) Listened to audio book and was surprised at how monotone it was since author is an actress.

This book would have been better if the protagonist didn’t ignore like 500 red flags??

Twisty interesting story that kept me guessing, and on the edge of my seat. Really enjoyed this one.

I enjoyed the story overall. It left me guessing the whole book. I did want a little more out of the ending. I enjoy that the author narrates her own books.
