Madison, an actress from Texas, and her husband Olivier, a French philosopher, take their daughter Sabine to PlayWorld. She ends up disappearing after riding a roller coaster, which sends both Madison and Olivier into a panic. Katie Muir flashes back and explains how Madison & Olivier's marriage became strained as well as Sabine's relationship to her nanny - Anna. Anna ends up having an affair with Olivier while Madison realizes that she must embrace her age and play older characters. This book is a fictionalized look into a "celebrity" power couple's lives and how nothing is what it seems.

One of the most strangest books I've read lately. Very soap operaish. Sometimes I felt like I was reading a harlequin romance or a gossip magazine. I picked this book because it was set in Paris, but the city was not featured very prodominently.
