Run Time by Catherine Ryan Howard

3.0

Adele is an Irish actress who is testing her luck in LA (and having minimal success) after jeopardizing her acting reputation back at home. she hopes that being in the states will give her a fresh start as someone who is mostly unrecognizable.

so it comes as a surprise to Adele when she gets a call from an Ireland number inquiring about a lead role back home. Adele is quick to agree, especially when hearing the filming details: a small rookie crew, a set located in the woods with no cell service & all wrapped in a bow with a NDA.

as someone desperately hoping to escape the negative publicity while simultaneously searching for her breakthrough role, the stars seem to have finally aligned for Adele. but as soon as filming begins, things start to get a little strange. Adele finds herself living through moments eerily similar to the very own script she’s acting out on set. is she going crazy over mere coincidences, or is she starring in her own horror movie?

i’ve heard great things about this author, so I was excited to read this one! i will say, it took me until about halfway through the book to actually get invested. i will definitely attribute some of that to having little time to read large portions of the book in one sitting, so I think my attention span was lacking some for the first half.
