The Body Double by Emily Beyda

1.0

---

The premise was interesting and thrilling. I mean, a girl - who's name we don't know- is hired to be the body double of famous Rosanna. She has to forget her identity and fully become her, eat the food Rosanna likes, wear her clothes, use her products. She goes full crazy and even accepts surgery on her body and face to look like her. To become her. Yeah, it would have been interesting and shocking if only it wasn't so damn boring. We're always in her head, with her crazy, stupid thoughts and it just goes on for ages until probably the last few chapters where things get interesting but aren't fully developed. It was a bummer. Don't be fooled by the pretty cover, you know what they say about judging the book by its cover, right?
