A review by kimblefairy1989
The Understudy by Holly Brown, B.A. Paris, Sophie Hannah, Claire Mackintosh
3.0
I bought this book mistakenly believing it was by Sophie Hannah alone. When I realised it wasnt, and having never read novels by the other authors, I was a little nervous.
However, the novel was fairly good. There were certain parts that didnt quite gel as it would have with one author, and I couldn't help but wonder how it would have worked if each author wasnt writing a different character.
For me though, the biggest issue was that i couldn't stand ANY of the mothers in this novel. They're all bullying and manipulative and it disgusted me the way they treated both each other and the children.
Overall, this gets 3.5 stars from me.
