IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND MURDER. A REALITY DATING SHOW TAKES A DEADLY TURN...

When Kansas sweetheart Maggie Lathrop is crowned the winner of America's most popular dating show, her life is transformed overnight.

Suddenly, Maggie has it all - a gorgeous husband, an immaculate Los Angeles mansion, and an entourage of glamorous friends.

Despite picture-perfect appearances, the world Maggie has created is shattered after she's found murdered in a desolate warehouse.

As her sister, Emma, attempts to uncover the truth about Maggie's life, a deadlier side to Hollywood is revealed.

Because being beautiful can have the ugliest consequences...

'A richly textured, compulsively bingeable, pulse-yanking ride, full of sophisticated twists, smart cultural commentary, and heart. The last 50 pages made me miss my subway stop. I loved it.' - Eve Gleichman

'Dark and wickedly funny. This searing debut explores the worlds of fame and influencer culture with razor-sharp precision. Catriona Stewart is one to watch!' - Asha Elias
