Bee Beahorn had it all – a successful music career, fabulous friends, and a glamorous celebrity lifestyle.
At least, that’s what her estranged sister, Ana, had always believed.
Their lives were worlds apart. Bea was beautiful, extravagant and full of life. Ana was awkward, shy, and destined to live in Bea’s shadow.
But when Bea is found dead in her flat, Ana realises that everything she knew about her sister had been a lie.
Ana is determined to find out the truth about her sister – and she might just find herself along the way . . .

Absolutely awful, dull and pointless tale.
by Annonymous
I can see from reading the reviews that this book attracts somewhat polarised views. I fall somewhere in between but definitely leaning to the positive. I hadn’t realised it was an early book of Lisa Jewel. My kindle version didn’t show publication dates. There are some awful characters, the mother!! But it is not hard to read and it does make some pertinent points about young aspiring “celebrities”, and old “has beens”!!! The book predates social media as we know it today. Bee read her publicity in the Times!! It would be infinitely more savage today. It is however worth a read
