Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. The story held my attention, even though I didn't particularly like the characters. This could only happen with a skilled writer like Sheldon, because why else waste time reading about people you couldn't care less about. I didn't care that Toby found out fame wasn't all it's cracked up to be (just ask any star) and I didn't care about wronged Jill plotting her revenge (as if she were the only victim of casting couch and other assorted perverts) and I didn't care that they suffered tragic fates, but I read the whole book anyway. no reviews | add a review
