About this ebook
The New York Times–bestselling debut story of four superfan friends whose devotion to their favorite band has darkly comical and deadly results.
Just know from the start that it wasn’t supposed to go like this. All we wanted was to get near them. That’s why we got a room in the hotel where they were staying.
We were not planning to kidnap one of them. Especially not the most useless one. But we had him—his room key, his cell phone, and his secrets.
We were not planning on what happened next. We swear.

A whirlwind of a tale that went from 0 to 100 real freaking quick. Full of twists, turns, and surprises that left me literally screaming. Also, as a member of several fandoms myself, this really struck a chord with me. A great, heart-racing read. #bless #NOTsquadgoals

I wonder what the response would have been to the title "Kill The Girl Band"? Thought so ... hypocrites.
About the author
Goldy Moldavsky writes YA fiction from her hometown of Brooklyn. She studied journalism in college, where she got to interview some cool celebrities for her school paper. After a bit she realized it'd be more fun making up stories about celebrities, so that's what she does in her writing. Some of her influences include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the esteemed works of John Irving, and the Mexican telenovelas she grew up watching with her mother.
