An unhinged romp through fame, obsession, and fandom
The sinister side of celebrity worship is inverted in this razor-sharp debut following the descent of the world’s most beloved movie star into a dark and disastrous obsession—perfect for readers of You and My Sister, the Serial Killer.
Everyone knows Marina, the A-list movie star. But very few know Marina, the absolute monster. Years at the top have proved that whatever Marina wants, she gets. But when she meets bartender Anna, Marina discovers something that can’t be bought: Anna’s affection. As Anna remains unmoved, Marina’s advances become more desperate, and her obsession more dangerous.
The price of fame is heavy—and someone will have to pay for it …
