Description
Thelma and Louise meets Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in this noughties set novel about Hollywood, ambition, and a lifelong, tabloid-frenzied feud.
Nadine Heywood is determined to be the best actress in the world.
Getting into London's top drama school is just the first step. But there, Nadine comes head-to-head with Harper Moore. Beautiful, brilliant, effortlessly charming, she is everything Nadine isn't. And immediately, Nadine sees her as more than just her competition.
As their worlds collide against the glitz of Hollywood, they can no longer keep their rivalry private. Splashed over the tabloids, Harper and Nadine are the public's favourite celebrity feud.
But as the stakes get higher, they start to realise there is more to their passionate hate than meets the eye...
