Hello Readers,
When global pop star Blair Baker is murdered mid-performance
at her hometown concert, the world goes into shock. But for her younger sister
Stevie, it’s a personal tragedy. To figure out what actually happened, Stevie
teams up with Blair’s superfan, Colby, and starts pulling back the curtain on
Blair’s glitzy, heavily curated life. Before long, they realize nearly everyone
in Blair's circle is hiding something.
I was hooked right away. The opening scene hits hard, and
the plot constantly throws out new clues and twists that made me question every
single character. I changed my mind about the killer at least five times, and
even when I thought I had it nailed, the story still caught me off guard.
Stevie and Colby’s dynamic was easily one of my favourite
parts. Colby brings just enough humour to balance out the heavier themes of
grief and murder, and the romance is subtle enough that it never overshadows
the mystery itself.
Beyond the whodunit, the book tackles some surprisingly
heavy topics toxic workplaces, abuse of power, and industry corruption without
losing its momentum. Stevie’s grief feels grounded and raw, which gives the
story a real emotional anchor.
My only real gripe is the pacing near the end. That said,
it’s still a clever, fast-paced, and emotional YA thriller. Highly recommend
picking this one up if you're a fan of celebrity drama and twisty mysteries.
