« It was important for the book to not bear a singular perspective. “You aren’t sure who’s the author in this story,” she explains. “It could be told from the perspective of Ashley, the main pop star, but it could also be a fan making this up in their head, in their bedroom. That was intentional: I wanted the world to feel a little confusing, where you don’t know what the truth is. There’s an emphasis on the idea of no one authoring this story.' »

This book is a cinematic journey of the performers as seen through the eyes of their fans and stalkers, images of performances, rescues, and confrontations, interspersed with letters, conversations, and diary entries. The five chapters follow Ashley, a solo star, and Siren8, a teen idol group designed for bubblegum appeal. Ashley, once a quiet artistic student, is discovered at a school performance and pushed into pop stardom. She starts sincere and gentle, but fame twists her identity. Manipulated, isolated, and disassociated, she becomes a ghostlike figure to those who knew her before disappearing under mysterious circumstances.
