She's the woman who has everything. But she wants more. She wants you...

Everyone knows Marina, the A-list movie star. But very few know Marina, the absolute monster.

Years at the top have proved that whatever Marina wants, she gets. But when she meets bartender Anna, Marina discovers something that can't be bought: Anna's affection. As Anna remains unmoved, Marina's advances become more desperate - and her obsession more dangerous.

The price of fame is heavy - and someone will have to pay for it...

A riotous dissection of celebrity culture that goes in directions you won't expect Independent
Equal parts outrageous and equal parts fun Dazed
A dark, crazed reversal of Notting Hill Daily Mail
Fully immersive Debut Digest
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 -- Alice Slater
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 -- Lucy Rose
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 -- Katy Brent
Pulls back the smooth skin of celebrity culture to find the gross stuff underneath -- Julia Raeside
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. -- Emma van Straaten
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 -- Kia Abdullah
A slow, sinister and saltily satirical look at celebrity -- Callie Kazumi
