Louise O'Neill

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I suppose it is.

I mean, I think it's quite glamorous and like, you know, it's really, I suppose, looking at fame and celebrity and wealth and child stardom and like all of these things.

But I suppose also still looking at like the dark underbelly and the way in which women, but particularly, I suppose, famous women are treated by the media, the way in which their bodies are talked about, the way in which their love lives are dissected.

So I suppose there's still sort of a Louise O'Neill...

Yeah.

Yeah.

So it's about, you know, twin sisters, Chelsea and Maddy Stone, who when they are toddlers, their mother goes to a psychic and the psychic tells her that one of the twins is going to become the most famous woman of her generation.

And the other twin is going to die before her 30th birthday.

But she has no idea which is which.

And then Aaron sort of being the...

very typical stage mother, like rearranges their entire lives in order to try and fulfil this prophecy.

So she moves them to LA, she starts them in beauty pageants and commercials and, you know, they do land this sort of Disney-style show called, you know, Double Trouble.

And it is, I think, a lot around that, around...

they do end up becoming very successful.

And their mother is their manager.

And the lines between mother and manager start to become blurred.

And yes, they are paying her mortgage.

They're her job.
