A dark, character-driven tale of friendship and fame, of pushing to get what you want, even when it means hurting people in the process of achieving your goals.
I found this story a little repetitive. I realise it was trying to build the strong feelings and relationships throughout, and teach the author of the motivations behind the actions, but I just felt it was really hammered home in places. I enjoyed the second half much more than the first.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
