A review by hilarymaloy
Run Time by Catherine Ryan Howard
2.0
Set up:
Adele Rafferty is an actress who is down on her luck. She can’t seem to catch any breaks. After an embarrassing audition, she swears off acting. That DAY she gets a call offering her a lead role in a horror indie film, Final Draft. They need her to fly out tonight. Obviously, she takes it.
Quickly, Adele realizes that things are amiss onset, and she starts to see similarities between her life and the script of the movie she’s acting in.
Is she paranoid? Is the script haunted?
Review:
I thought the premise was catching. Howard is my favorite actor, so I was VERY excited for this book. Sadly, this book was not for me.
Keep in mind , the same things happen over and over and over. Book, movie, book. So it just got too trippy.
It was TOO much for me. I constantly felt like maybe I’m just too simple to keep up with what reality I was in. Was this the book? The movie? The other book? Cue: Michael Scott gif *I don’t know*.
Big sigh. I’m really sad because I think this did have good bones, but it really felt not ready to me.
I will still pick up Howard’s next book, but I hope I enjoy that one better than this.
