She's the woman who has everything. But she wants more. She wants you...
Everyone knows Marina, the A-list movie star. But very few know Marina, the absolute monster.
Years at the top have proved that whatever Marina wants, she gets. But when she meets bartender Anna, Marina discovers something that can't be bought: Anna's affection. As Anna remains unmoved, Marina's advances become more desperate - and her obsession more dangerous.
The price of fame is heavy - and someone will have to pay for it...

A riotous dissection of celebrity culture that goes in directions you won't expect * Independent *
Equal parts outrageous and equal parts fun * Dazed *
Evelyn Hugo meets Joe Goldberg in this phenomenal jaunt through the privileged, entitled and utterly unhinged mind of an elite Hollywood A-lister. As lust blooms into obsession, a prowl of wild leopards couldn't tear me away from the spectacle of Marina as she unravels. An absolute banger of the highest order - Hannah Beer, you are as talented as you are terrifying -- Alice Slater
Imagine if the world's biggest superstar, the planet's sweetheart, was actually a sociopath Well, that's Marina in Hannah Beer's tremendously biting debut. I adored this book, full of voice and a main character I absolutely loved to hate with a clever twist on the idea of celebrity obsession. Wonderfully dark and disturbing but charming and compelling too -- Katy Brent
Pulls back the smooth skin of celebrity culture to find the gross stuff underneath -- Julia Raeside
