She Died Famous by Kyle Rutkin
4.0

Thanks to the author with providing me with a free copy of his book!

Billed as A Star is Born meets Gone Girl, She Died Famous is a bingeable psychological thriller. After the singer and actress Kelly Trozzo is found dead, the search for her killer is on. Her boyfriend, Kaleb Reed, is accused of the murders but he maintains his innocence. The story intersperses news clippings, interviews, and flashbacks in amongst Kaleb’s narration, making you second guess everything. Does Kaleb’s best-selling book have anything to do with Kelly’s death? Or is someone else involved?

There are a lot of WTF moments, especially as the book spirals towards the end. It certainly kept me guessing throughout. I am still not 100% what to think about that ending either, and look forward to talking about it with Kyle and #themostfunbuddyread once we have all finished!

TW: heavy drug and alcohol use, including by recovering addicts; murder
