Synopsis

On a beautiful private island off the coast of the UK, the cast and crew of glamorous TV show Falcon Bay are at a breaking point. Ratings are falling, and their new boss is inventing ever more dramatic—and impossible—storylines to get Falcon Bay back into the number one slot. Director Farrah, lead actress Catherine, and producer Amanda are the passionate, ambitious women holding the show together. With so much at stake, they will stop at nothing to stay in the jobs they love and on the island they call home. Can these women team up to bring down their rivals? Or will scandal, betrayal, and ambition tear them apart?

I’m still reeling from this book and I am still unsure if I enjoyed it or not. I found myself mocking it’s ridiculousness for the most part.
