I also really loved the ending. That last and final twist. I was well spooked.
Heavy content warnings though.

Mia Eliot is in Hollywood to make a fresh start. Her personal life may be crumbling around her but professionally she's riding the wave of her new-found fame on the critically acclaimed show called, *Jane*. With nothing and no one holding her back, Mia is determined to land her next big role. But the L.A. scene is a lot more cut-throat than what she's gotten used to in London. Mia finds solace one afternoon in commiserating over the whole charade with another actress at an audition. But only moments later the woman is gone, her keys and wallet left behind in Mia's possession. What began for Mia as a random act of kindness is quickly spiraling into something more dangerous. In a city built on fake personas, how far should one actress go to discover what's real?
“It’s hard not to think the worst when you’re trying not to think the worst.”
I very much wanted to love this story. It has a neat enough premise and I think the bones were there. I just didn't really connect with any of what was happening and felt let down by the end. I can't say it was "bad" in any way, but I certainly had to drag myself through the end. Truth be told, my biggest motivator for finishing this book is that it was my Taurus pick for the month of June and I am nothing if not a completionist!
