A review by surlamer7803
The Understudy by Holly Brown, B.A. Paris, Sophie Hannah, Claire Mackintosh

1.0

I was so disappointed by this one. I’m a huge fan of Paris and Mackintosh so I was very excited to read their collaboration with two other authors but unfortunately this just fell completely flat. It was boring and nonsensical petty drama between high school students and their even prettier and some how more immature mothers. There was not a single redeemable character among them and the ending was dull and nonsensical. It felt like it should have been a novella at most and the writing didn’t have any of the bite or pull that I’ve come to expect from these authors. It felt very stripped down and basic.
