Absolutely brilliant, loved it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me an advance copy, I will definitely be recommending.

I guess I was expecting something different, darker. Felt like I was reading a young/new adult title very light, a few wry moments but formulaic, I can't help feeling that this type of story has been done to death (pun intended). Good for a beach read perhaps beyong that I'm not sure sorry.

I loved the premise of this. It's The Devil Wears Prada but with a sociopathic queer Miranda Priestley as the narrator.
It started off strongly and the mixed media format of interspersed fan forums worked but this element became tedious as the book progressed and they started to feel intrusive and didn't add much.
I loved the concept of this spoiled, artificial star with a disregard for others but she did become a bit one note two thirds of the way in and the story of her obsession with a bar tender felt thin and lacking in substance. The subsidiary characters felt underdeveloped and two dimensional. Although I enjoyed the start if the book, the final sections were less entertaining as the premise was wearing thin.
It's an enjoyable read but not earth shattering, although the prose is sharp and spiky.

What a messy and thoroughly enthralling reading experience! Marina was absolutely insufferable, her inner monologue was full of narcissism and her actions were equally as selfish and cruel. She made for an incredibly interesting main character, my only criticism comes from her awfulness, sometimes it felt a little too character like and villainous.

However, this entire book read like an unhinged nightmare that wouldn’t end. Her decisions get worse and worse and completely unforgivable. Not only is she aggressive and violent, but she’s delusional. I thought the media articles and fan forums provided the perfect contrast for the story itself, a commentary on celebrity lives and how little we actually know about them. A stellar and entertaining read.

Perfect celebrity/hollywood book if you looking for a nice light fun read! Especially if you love books that pertain to Hollywood and the entertainment business!
