I found this to be a really enjoyable page-turner which kept my interest throughout. The book follows Lily Thane, an actress who found fame as a child and has struggled to match her early success. When she is given the opportunity to be a "red-carpet" girlfriend to Adam Harker, an actor she has known since stage-school who has a promising future in the acting world, she accepts with the hope it will boost her stalling career. However she quickly discovers she has taken on more than she bargained for and Adam's sudden and unexplained death causes her to doubt everything and everyone around her.

The plot was well paced and packed full of drama which kept me entertained and wanting to see where the story would go. I particularly enjoyed the PR battles, manipulation and scandal which become a common part of Lily's life.

What bothered me was that none of the characters in this book were likeable, not even Lily who we were supposed to root for. Therefore towards the end of the book I didn't really care who was responsible for Adam's death as none of the characters would have been a surprise. This took away a lot of the intrigue from the revelation and the book felt flat at the end.

Thank you to Readers First for the copy of this book.
