Summary

Imagine being a nobody

When Hollywood legend Ruby Valentine shocks the world with her mysterious suicide, Kelly's father reveals something even more shocking - she's Ruby's daughter.

Who suddenly becomes a somebody.

So Kelly sets off for Tinseltown to find some answers, diving head first into Hollywood society with her new family of jet-setters and fashionistas. But she soon discovers that Ruby's real life was laced with more drama, tragedy, and intrigue than any screenwriter could imagine.

And the more she digs, the closer she gets to uncovering the most unbelievable secret of them all.
