When you fake it for a living, the truth is hard to find...

Former child star Lily Thane is now a struggling thirty-something actress. Her old stage-school buddy, Adam Harker, is on the brink of making it big, but he needs an appropriate red-carpet companion to seal the deal, and Lily fits the bill.

Soon after signing on the dotted line, Adam's dark side starts to surface and their perfect fauxmance turns toxic. 

But when Adam winds up dead in a swimming pool, Lily is the only person who cares enough to find out why. She's convinced someone was out to get Adam - and now they're after her...

Review-

This takes us deep into the dark side of fame, and shows all the hidden things we don’t generally see on the outside looking in, and what people are prepared to do for fame. The characters were very well written, intentionally toxic and unlikeable and I was invested in the plot. The title perfectly fits with the storyline here and we see that everything in the spotlight is not always as it seems, very far from it in fact. I loved the previous book by this author, which I felt had a bit more intrigue than this one, but I did enjoy it enough to keep going and to see how the end wrapped things up. I wasn’t blown away by the end but there were some good unexpected twists along the way.
