A twisty YA murder mystery that explores the dangerous world of the ultra-famous - a world full of secrets, super-fans and betrayal. A world readers will recognize with the rise of global music sensations. This is Jennifer Pearson's debut YA but she brings with her that signature ability to thread a book with truly tender moments alongside bits of dialogue that make you laugh out loud. A great read for fans of teen murder mysteries. And that super-fan Colby is an EXCELLENT character.
