SOPHIE CHILDS

 

Behind the Scenes (2015)

 

Bethan Brooks has always dreamed of working in the film industry. Unfortunately, the closest she actually gets is going to the cinema by herself, dreaming away while watching all kinds of films. Though Bethan doesn't like her job as a secretary, it pays the bills and helps her support her boyfriend Lee who doesn't have a job because he is trying to make it with his rock band, the Vampire Squirrels. One day, the unexpected happens as Bethan bumps into one of her favourite actors on the Tube on her commute into work. One thing leads to another and this meeting suddenly means the start of big changes in Bethan's life. She finally gets the chance to experience what life is like behind the scenes of the film world. Question is, is this really what she wants and worth giving up her life for...? Sophie Childs has extensive ghostwriting experience and I must say I'm really glad she decided to write her own book because I really enjoyed Behind the Scenes. The storyline was really interesting, the characters were well-drawn and the author's writing style was easy to get into. It did take me a bit of time to really warm to Bethan; she's a bit naive and I couldn't understand why she was still together with her lazy boyfriend Lee. While the storyline is a bit predictable in places, the story was really entertaining and I finished the book in a day, constantly curious to see what would happen next. (JoH)
