Review :
A riotous dissection of celebrity culture that goes in directions you won't expect Equal parts outrageous and equal parts fun A dark, crazed reversal of Notting Hill Fully immersive Evelyn Hugo meets Joe Goldberg in this phenomenal jaunt through the privileged, entitled and utterly unhinged mind of an elite Hollywood A-lister. As lust blooms into obsession, a prowl of wild leopards couldn't tear me away from the spectacle of Marina as she unravels. An absolute banger of the highest order - Hannah Beer, you are as talented as you are terrifying This is a brilliant gross novel about a celebrity who is a little bit of a monster behind the mask. Darkly humorous and outrageous, this is your next obsession Imagine if the world's biggest superstar, the planet's sweetheart, was actually a sociopath? Well, that's Marina in Hannah Beer's tremendously biting debut. I adored this book, full of voice and a main character I absolutely loved to hate with a clever twist on the idea of celebrity obsession. Wonderfully dark and disturbing but charming and compelling too Pulls back the smooth skin of celebrity culture to find the gross stuff underneath This is a ROMP of a novel - a vicious, unhinged-girlie romp. It's funny, unpredictable and biting, with an absolutely genius addition of message board transcripts where concerned fans are analysing Marina's every outing and expression. It takes a long hard look at celebrity and parasocial relationships. Savagely witty - just great, disturbing, fun. I loved it. I Make My Own Fun is dark, wicked, sexy - and thoroughly fun. Love her or hate her, the deliciously diabolical Marina is every bit as beguiling as Villanelle and Amy Dunne. Add in shades of Evelyn Hugo and you have the most entertaining debut of the year A slow, sinister and saltily satirical look at celebrity
