Publisher's summary

Shy and gawky, Ana has always daydreamed about living the life of her exotic half-sister Bee, a pop singer who had a number one hit single before she inexplicably vanished from the celebrity scene.

When Bee turns up dead, Ana is dispatched to the big city to clear out her apartment. Instantly seduced by the second-hand glamour of Bee's baubles, bangles, and bottles of Pierre-Jouet, Ana takes up with Bee's wild club-hopping cronies.

News of a missing cat and a remote country cottage soon convince Ana that her sister was leading a secret life. Now, she's is on a mission to discover what really happened to Bee Bearhorn, the one-hit wonder - and what is about to happen to the unremarkable Ana Wills.

Was not sure but fell in love

This is not the typical type of book but it was so very amazing. It’s to a hyped psychological thriller but an absolute very good little read.

loved this

even though this is a bit of a perfect ending kind of book that I don't usually enjoy, I did think this was a perfect over the holidays book. I loved the narrator. I would recommend it for how clever and really a sweet story.

Kept me interested and made me laugh and cry

I really enjoyed the main character and loved how they brought light to depression that most of us face as real people.

Keeps you on your toes!

The central, tragic mystery in this story keeps you clinging to every moment of this story! Ana is discovering herself and her sister's story, all at the same time. The way they intertwine is both wondrous and heartbreaking, in that they never got to know each other as adults. I was sorry to see this story end and to leave these characters behind, quite honestly. That said, the story took patience in a few spots. The author gets bogged down in minute details that don't help the story.

I had one issue with the narrator: she is quite terrible at other accents. Her versions of a Leeds accent and a Scottish accent loses it's way frequently and become muddled. But it doesn't harm the storytelling.

Wonderful

Full of sorrow and beauty. The narration was great, as was the journey of our protagonist.

A slow moving drama

The story was often confusing/
The Narrator was slightly annoying in her delivery.
Excess profanity made it difficult to find any enjoyment in the drawn out story-line.

Enjoyed!

There was a surprising twist. Really nice story with well developed characters. It’s not a book that I’d normally read, but this was very good. I’d read more like this one!
