Show biz is cutthroat!

Oh the lengths someone will go to correct past wrongs, or make dreams come true! I am impressed with what Ellie did, with luck on her side and a doppelganger of a friend willing to trade places with her, even if it turns into a real nightmare. I would say the movie is cursed! From almost plane crashes, car crashes, overhearing plots to commit murder, and don't forget the bodies that start showing up! Seems like no one is trustworthy, even if they show a friendly side and it does get pretty crazy! I did like the first twist which kept me quite intrigued to see how it would play out, but then it got a bit crazy as it turns out everyone came to Abu Dhabi with schemes they were looking to come to fruition and in between filming on the dunes, and racing land rovers through a sandstorm, there is plenty of action and made it quite a fast read and hard to put down. I will say, don't trust anyone and prepare for much backstabbing and lots of different killing methods but not everyone dies and people do come out of it trying to be better friends and people and get the help they need. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this thrilling story of actors and their many issues who need more therapy before they decide to kill others off. Show biz is cutthroat!
