I found myself rolling my eyes way too much. Quite predictable. The main character was so annoying, so there was no reason to root for her like 30% in. The premise was very unique, but the writing fell flat. It would have done much better as a series where the events and lives of the characters were more fleshed out. It felt surface level and forced. The audiobook narrator wasn’t great either, so this could have skewed my view. The narration made Vienna sound very one note.

Such a great book! I loved the girl band vibes combined with a murder mystery. There were so many twists that I didn't see coming, but I had mostly figured out the ending. I still really enjoyed the book though, and found it to be creatively written and wonderfully twisted!

4.5⭐️ When I saw something that said this book was for fans of Daisy Jones and Yellowjackets, I knew I had to read it. I really enjoyed this book, even though there were points where it seemed to drag on a little. It was such an easy read! Having worked in the music industry for 13 years, I think it really captured what fame can do to some people well. Just when I was trying to figure out how it was going to end, because there were a lot of pages left and it felt like we were going in circles, part 2 hits and the shoe drops. Woah!

Loved this! I need more books like this! A book that lets you see from a less than great persons view is always fun!

3.5 stars! Fun and I enjoyed the second part way more than the first part, though I do think that the final showdown was weak and could have been so much stronger.

Talk about the bad side of fame! I have loved Hannah Mary McKinnon since The Neighbors and she hasn’t let me down yet!

This was an awesome thriller perfect for all fans of the genre but especially for fans of Daisy Jones and the Six!

One by one members of a band called The Bittersweet go missing. This was a story of how far some will go to get to the top. It was diabolical, unnerving, intense, and it kept me awake because I just had to finish it. I LOVED it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!
