A ripped-from-the-tabloids, âachingly wroughtâ (BookPage, starred review) young adult drama by critically acclaimed author Kelly Loy Gilbert about a girlâs famous-for-being-famous family fracturing from within as their dirty laundry gets exposed.
The Lo family sticks together. Thatâs what Honor has been told her whole life while growing up in the glare of the public eye on Lo and Behold, the reality show about her, her four siblings, and their parents.
Their show may be off the air, but the Lo family members still live in the spotlight as influencers churning out podcasts, bestselling books, and brand partnerships. So when Honorâs father announces that heâs moving out of their northern California home to rent an apartment in Brooklyn, Honorâs personal upset becomes the internetâs trending B-list celebrity trainwreckâthreatening the aspirational image the Losâ brand (and livelihood) depends on.
After one of her best friends leaks their private conversation to a gossip site, bruised and betrayed Honor pours all her energy into reuniting her family. With her parents 3,000 miles apart, her siblings torn into factions, and all of them under claustrophobic public scrutiny, this is easier said than done. Just when Honor feels at her lowest, a guarded yet vulnerable boy named Caden comes into her life and makes her want something beyond the tight Lo inner circle for the first time. But is it fair to open her heart to someone new when the people she loves are teetering on the edge of ruin?
As increasingly terrible secrets come to light about the people Honor thought she knew best in the world, sheâs forced to choose between loyalty to her family and fighting for the life she wants.
