Anna is a fifteen-year-old girl slouching toward adulthood. And she's had an excruciating year. To top it all off, she's got new stepparents, a new baby brother, and a new school to look forward to in the fall. So, she "borrows" her family's credit card and runs away to LA to crash with her half-sister. But in addition to not being wanted back by her parents, at least not immediately, Anna has to work to pay her way home. Her sister's creepy ex-boyfriend is directing an indie film inspired by girls who come to LA and disappear, literally or metaphorically, and he hires Anna for a seriously macabre research project--to research the murderous Manson girls.

I was so disappointed in this book. I thought it was going to be more thrillery since ya know... it's marketed as someone who is doing research on the MANSON MURDERS. Also it said that our main character (Can't even remember her name. Whoops) finds all these parallels between her life and the Manson girls lives. I didn't get that at all. This felt way more like a “struggling to make it in Hollywood” “Famous person falls for a not famous person” story and that is not what I signed up for AT ALL. OH AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE “STALKER” PLOT LINE INTERESTING. Like that could have been SO much better than it was like come on man. I was just really disappointed and thought I was going to be getting a much different book than I ended up with.
