I do think it’s interesting, and also totally accurate, that so many of the famous women we came to know in the book were abused. Fame definitely has a dark side to it, and I’m honestly sad for Cass that it ended the way it did for her.
As a fan of the early 2000s pop music (the music of my childhood) I completely remember the popular groups and how all encompassing my love for them was at the time. Being an adult now, I can easily see the ways in which they were exploited, and having that perspective really made the book for me.

There was a lot to recommend it at the start, great writing and an interesting premise, but ultimately it lost its way pretty quickly. Perhaps because there was so much going on that none of it could actually be afforded the proper attention and care? Sure, that can be taken as a reflection of real life, but doesn't make for a particularly enjoyable book, in my opinion.
