Many thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for granting my wish to receive a digital ARC of the latest book by Catherine Steadman - 4 stars!
Mia is a successful British actress, starring in period pieces, but after a bad breakup, her agent arranges for her to travel to Hollywood for pilot season - that important time of the year when studios look for stars for upcoming projects that can make or break an actor's life. Things are going well for Mia but during one audition, she does a favor for another hopeful actress, Emily, and her life will never be the same. When Emily disappears and Mia realizes she is the last one to see her, Mia becomes obsessed with finding her. Soon Mia is questioning her memory and all of those around her as she searches desperately for Emily.
This was an intriguing mystery with lots of unreliable characters to question. It is the type of book that has you screaming silently to Mia to just walk away, but what would be the fun in that? It was also an interesting back look into Hollywood and the actors literally dying for their big break. I never realized that one of my favorite writers, Catherine Steadman, was also a British actress, so this book is obviously a true peek into that world.
