For fans of Little White Lies and Two Can Keep a Secret comes an addictive thriller about a budding teen celebrity secretly investigating his brother's suspicious death while navigating the highs and lows of fame.
Rising star Abel Miller has just landed a role in one of the hottest reboots on the Omni Channel, Sunset High. It looks like he’ll be yet another budding celebrity plucked from obscurity, but he has a secret: his brother, Adam, a mere production associate, died during the filming of the last attempt at Sunset High, and no one knows how… or why. Abel is going to find out.
But when he meets the other stars of the show— Lucky, Ryan, and Ella, along with creator Lake Carter— he realizes there’s even more darkness beneath the shimmer of fame. They all have their own secrets to hide, and one of them is willing to kill to keep it that way.

a solid 3.5 stars rating
this was very fun in general and exactly what i would have wanted from a book like this
BUT
i have to say that the last 15% kind of. didnt work for me at all? the ending fell super flat for me and pushed the final rating from 4 stars to 3.5 stars. i see what the author was going for but the execution was a bit wonky for me? it just felt like “ah yes i need to tie up all the loose ends” without making it a cohesive story.
also, some stuff was a bit too predictable, so in combination with the sometimes slow pacing my brain would just go “lets pick up the speed please!!! i already know where this is going!!!”
all in all i think this is still a solid YA thriller about teen celebs and it was a very fast read
