The Body Double by Emily Beyda
2.0

I really really really wanted to love this book. The premises of the book is incredible. Someone trying to have another human live a celebrity life? SIGN ME UP!

I think the first curveball for me was the fact that a ton of information was revealed to us in the first chapter. I was very confused as to what are we going to talk about later on in the book. The decisions this character had to make were a bit too big for just a couple of sentences.

While reading a book I felt like I was driving a stick-shift car: I don't know how to drive a stick-shift car. Some places felt like smooth and inviting sailing. However, some felt very clunky and bumpy.

I think with heavy editing and some re-writing to smooth things over this can be a very intriguing read.
