Ummmm WHAT?! Wow, you guys… this book totally blew away any expectations I had, and I absolutely loved it! This ends up being such a great story, and I think I spent the last 40 minutes of the book with my mouth hanging open!

This is a compelling read following the MeToo movement. Sarah Lai teaches about filmmaking in a college in NYC, but many years ago she was a film producer when she suddenly left. Now she’s been approached by a journalist, and with news coming about the man who once her mentor, she tells all...
Parallel with the current events of MeToo are quite strong with this one, which is more of a character driven read than a plot one. Nonetheless it was a fascinating look into the world of filmmaking and a toxic work environment.

You know what it's like.
A comment here, a closed door there, turning a blind eye to get ahead.My name is Sarah Lai. You won't have heard of me. A decade ago I was on the cusp of being a big deal. But that was a long time ago.
This was a good read. Good story and characters. I expected more from the blurb though. 4*.

I enjoyed this book it was well written with a compelling storyline and a decent amount of character developement. The message of the story was powerful and punchy and confirmed what most people expect of Hollywood that is brushed under the red carpet and blinded by the dazzling flashes of paparazzi cameras.
An enjoyable read.

This has all the components that you would expect when reading this blurb, yet somehow I still expected more.
This felt a bit reactive to the aftermath of everything that has since been found out by the film industry, and feels a bit behind the times rather than ahead of it.
