About this ebook
“A page-turning peek inside the glamour and brutality of life as a pop star.” —Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times–bestselling author of Daisy Jones and The Six
Cassidy Holmes isn’t just a celebrity.
She is “Sassy Gloss,” the fourth member of the hottest pop group America has ever seen. Hotter than Britney dancing with a snake, hotter than Christina getting dirrty, Gloss was the pop act that everyone idolized. Fans couldn’t get enough of them, their music, and the drama that followed them—until the group’s sudden implosion in 2002. And at the center of it all was Sassy Cassy, the Texan with a signature smirk that had everyone falling for her.
But now she’s dead. Suicide.
The world is reeling from this unexpected news, but no one is more shocked than the three remaining Glossies. Before the group split fifteen year ago, Rose, Merry and Yumi each had a special bond with Cassidy. But after years apart, each of them is wondering: what could they have done?
Told in multiple perspectives—including Cassidy herself—and different timelines—this is a behind-the-scenes look into the rise and fall of a pop icon.
“A witty, bright, hilarious—and at times devastating—read.” —Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times–bestselling author of The Jetsetters
“Exhilarating.” —Harper’s Bazaar
“13 Reasons Why meets Daisy Jones & The Six...it will keep you turning until the last page.” —Teen Vogue
“Get out your butterfly clips, put on some Spice Girls, and call your gal pals after reading this tale of friendship and the dark side of fame.” —Good Housekeeping
“Spirited and expertly plotted.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
