When Clooney Coyle promises Vonnie Gallagher they’ll be friends for life, he has no idea what he’s letting himself in for. The lonely and eccentric Vonnie quickly becomes obsessed with the kind-hearted but insecure actor, and her misguided crush soon develops into something much more sinister, which leaves Clooney’s career in tatters.
But when fate takes a strange turn and elevates the pair into an overnight celebrity couple, Clooney must decide whether to embrace the fame he has longed for since childhood or end the ridiculous charade before Vonnie’s jealous – and murderous – inclinations spiral out of control.
My review
This author is guaranteed to dish up an entertaining helping of crazy escapades and eccentric characters. Crazy For You ticks all those boxes. It’s fast-paced, witty, scary, funny, satirical, different and utterly absorbing.
Nothing escapes the author’s sharp eye. In this book he turns his unforgiving attention to the vanity and desperation of some actors. Just how far are they prepared to go to achieve that longed-for fame, and do they ever stop to wonder if it’s really worth it?
Not only are Vonnie and Clooney fascinating characters, there’s a whole host of unforgettable secondary dramatis personae who make the book very lively and interesting.
Great fun and a joy to read.
