An intriguing thriller about an author writing her own thriller novel. The book goes back and forth between the authors plot line and her novel. As the story unfolds, the two plots become intertwined until they are almost unrecognizable. 

The twist that her first book was based on her repressed childhood trauma was insane and something I did not see coming!

 
Recommend to fans of psychological thrillers.
