Run Time by Catherine Ryan Howard
3.0
Adele Rafferty needs a big break since working at the front desk of a shady LA motel isn't exactly helping her acting career. When she's offered the chance to star in the brand new film, "Final Draft," Adele can't say no. However, something about the entire contract, filming, and crew seem off. Adele knows one thing is for certain, she needs to get to the bottom of this.
This was my first Catherine Ryan Howard read, and while I wasn't impressed, I don't think it'll be my last. It was an ambitious feat, especially incorporating a screenplay and a book within a book, but it just fell flat in my opinion. For a thriller, I felt like there was a lack of thrills. The plot was underwhelming. Each time there was potential for a big twist, the plot fizzled out and left me wanting a lot more. There was a lot of potential but all in all, it wasn't met which is why I gave this 3 out of 5 stars.
