Paris's long hidden past is at risk of being revealed after she is accused of killing her celebrity husband. 

This book is comprised of three intertwined POVs: Paris, Drew, and Joey. The story jumps around a fair bit between three mysteries: who killed Jimmy, what happened the night Ruby was arrested, and who is Paris? 

I felt the story was interesting and I liked how it all came together in the end. That said I easily guessed all of the big twists. I felt it was missing a lot of the tension and suspense expected in a book like this.

DNF. I liked Deans pov and him discovering new things about Paris, but I really was not invested in the story as a whole.
