A review by hollidayreadswithme
The Body Double by Emily Beyda

3.0

Our unnamed narrator is the spitting image of Hollywood starlet Rosanna and for a 100,000 dollars, she is to assume Rosanna’s identity. This premise was very interesting however that’s all that this book had going for it. From the beginning, there was something not quite right about the Max situation and I knew that from the first chapter, but the overall flowery language and sad manipulation made me feel like I was being taken for a ride.

The interactions that Fake Rosanna has with her Hollywood friends are so sad because it proves that Rosanna was never really their friend. They readily accept this fraud as their friend after not hearing from their friend for over a year. The plot really just plodded along and there was not shock value because it is pretty obvious that there is something seriously wrong with arrangement.

I don’t think that overall the book was very good. I think it was interesting for what it was but that’s about it.
