As the first novel in the *Backbeat* series, it introduces both the setting of television production and the changing dynamics between two friends.

Book overview

TV stardom - fame, fortune, and Hollywood! It's the chance of a lifetime for Kate Merriman when she lands a small role in a new TV series called Backbeat.

But it's less fun when Kate finds out her best friend Maria has turned down the part she's been offered in the show. They're always there for each other. How can Kate succeed when Maria's not there to share this new adventure. And why doesn't their friendship seem to work any more?

In her first novel in the Backbeat series, Kathryn Ellis provides a lively look into the world of TV shows - and close friendships.
