What a damned good read! I used to devour Linda Barnes' Carlotta Carlyle novels when I was much younger, and I was somewhat trepidatious about picking up this new novel, which has a cover like something you'd see on Oprah's book club. Luckily, Barnes didn't disappoint at all. Because of the nature of the story, I don't really want to say much in my review, because there's many points which would count as spoilers. I will suffice it to say that don't give up on the ultra-passive narrator early on, because things are not quite how they seem.
Teddy and Em are a writing team. Teddy is the public face of the team and Em is the behind-the-scenes researcher. When Teddy is killed in a car accident, Em is left to finish their autobiography of a famous, reclusive director. The publisher doesn't think that Em is capable of finishing the book without Teddy but Em is determined to overcome her social phobia, finish Teddy's interview with the director and complete the book.
Meh...not impressed. Saw the ending by the middle of the book.
Easy to read interesting characters but a little predictable
