Review
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A really good bookBy J.M. SnyderThis story really blew me away. Ive always been curious about people who feel compelled to kill celebrities; particularly those they claim to love. When I began the book; I never expected to feel sympathetic toward Lillian; but I found myself caught up in the whirlwind of her life. The writing is vivid and rich; and the characters very real. I particularly liked the juxtaposition between Lillians side of the story and Brookes mothers side.Though Lillian never met Brooke; she fell in love with the superstar in her magazines and on her television much the same way millions of teenaged girls do. While the premise sounds fantastical; the events of the novel play out in such a way as to make perfect sense. I was left with an immense feeling of sadness for Lillian. The fangirl in me could imagine playing her role all too well.
