Summary

Chinatown meets Real Housewives in this Hollywood “Whydunit.”

When former child actor and reality TV star Molly Mandrie commits suicide, her co-stars, producers, and fans’ lives are thrown into chaos. Under the controlling thumb of the Applause Network and its executive producer Guy Maker, cast members Tamara, Andrea, Fievel, and Elliot struggle to face how they may have contributed to Molly’s death.

Meanwhile, big-time movie star and self-proclaimed “Molly’s biggest fan” Hector Espinoza uses his industry access to ask big questions. If Guy Maker was the man who gave her a second chance at fame, and Molly's best friend, why didn’t he go to her funeral?

And fifteen-year-old influencer Nixon Bryce, who rose to fame mimicking Molly’s drunken antics, finds her dysfunctional relationship with her mother pulled into the fray as Applause looks to her to be their fresh face.

In this deep-dive into the dramatic and dangerous world of reality TV, the cameras have stopped rolling and the makeup is off. Characters' stories intertwine as they search for the truth about Molly’s death, racing towards an emotionally crippling conclusion that will change their careers—and lives—forever.

Fame

I loved the narration from André Santana, Marisha Tapera, Crystal Lee, Emily Lawrence and Will Sterling

This book is dark, funny, mystery and full of gossip. This book has a full cast with music that helped tell the full picture. I am a fan of reality tv and boy does this book show the worst in the people in them. Also the how you different side to these character that really makes you care what happens to them
