From the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water and Mr. Nobody comes an unputdownable mystery about the nightmares that abound in the pursuit of Hollywood dreams(Caroline Kepnes, author of the You series). Stylish, riveting, hugely atmospheric I couldn't put it down.Lucy Foley, author of The Guest ListA woman has gone missing. But did she ever really exist?A leading British actress hoping to make a splash in America flies to Los Angeles for the grueling gauntlet known as pilot season, a time when every network and film studio looking to fill the rosters of their new shows entice a fresh batch of young hopefuls anxious, desperate, and willing to do whatever it takes to make it.Instead, Mia Eliot, a fish out of water in the ruthlessly competitive and faceless world of back-to-back auditioning, discovers the sinister side of Hollywood when she becomes the last person to see Emily, a newfound friend. Standing out in a conveyor-belt world of fellow aspiring stars, Emily mysteriously disappears following an audition, after asking Mia to do a simple favor. But nothing is simple.

Review

I thought this book was just an average thriller, though it did have a twist I didn't see coming. I liked the main character, Mia and I also liked learning more about the ins and outs of Hollywood.

I didn't want to put it down!

Mia has travelled from London to LA to try to make it big as an actress in Hollywood. Things start to unravel when she is the last person to see a young women named Emily alive. But then Emily shows back up, but she's nothing like Mia remembers. Is Mia losing her mind? Is there something more sinister at play? AHH! I LOVE books like this. Books that keep you on your toes until the very end. Especially since Mia can be a little annoying. But I tried to give the girl a break. She just moved to America. She just found out her boyfriend is cheating on her. And she is linked to the disappearance of some girl she met. Sort of. It's a tangled web that will keep you guessing. I wanted to threw my kindle a few times. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery with some Hollywood drama thrown in. Thanks for the arc, Netgalley!
