Critic reviews
'Lyrical, graceful, utterly propulsive' Ellie Eaton, author of The Divines
'A deliciously insider-y peek into the music industry and fame. Layden has a gift for making the world and her characters feel wonderfully real. You won’t be able to put it down' Rufi Thorpe, author of Margo's Got Money Troubles
'A perfect, lyrical gut-punch, this novel propels the reader to an incredible conclusion that is at once unexpected and inevitable. Fast-paced, richly textured and impossible to put down' Rachel Kapelke-Dale, author of The Ballerinas
‘A Taylor Swift–esque pop star is blindsided by the discovery of her high school best friend’s corpse in this powerhouse sophomore effort from Layden. Authentic characters and lyrical first-person narration bestow the proceedings with dimension, drama, and drive. Megan Abbott fans will devour this’ Starred review in Publisher’s Weekly
