Reviews
Got a bit confused with some of the terminology and the cutting between different points of view in the same chapter. Cath's narrative was a less strong than Beth's, but nevertheless this is a fast paced story that was enjoyable to read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Chick-lit style, but deeper and with much better characterisation than normal. The main character is in her forties, and the book is mostly set in theatrical circles. Recommended.
