"Meet the Jansen family... Since the morning after the party - the one Liv can't remember, the one that left her covered in bruises - there's been a padlock on the door of her bedroom. Her parents said they found mold and it needs to be decontaminated, but they're acting strangely. Her friend Leilani isn't answering her texts, so maybe Liv did get a little out of control that night. Sharing a room with her brother Cas for a while isn't the end of the world, as long as he doesn't tell their parents that she's started sleepwalking. They're already worried enough. Janus brought his family from Australia to LA to chase his dream of turning his bestselling novel into a screenplay. Yeah, money is tight, but he's sure this rewrite is the one. He knows he let his wife down with the Liv situation, and he can't let her down again. Kay wasn't sure she wanted to be a mother when she got pregnant with Liv, but she gave up everything for her daughter and then her son, Casper, as well. She'll do whatever she has to do to take care of her kids. Her marriage, though, is a different story. And the neighbors - well, they'll just have to be more careful. All Cas wanted was to go home for the summer - to Australia, his real home. But his parents are making him stay in LA, AND he has to share a room with his sister. Mold? He doesn't believe it. Since Cas's plans were ruined, he might as well find out the truth about the padlock. And whatever it is that no one is telling him"--

ONE OF “25 BOOKS TO READ IN 2025”—TORONTO STARFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Capote’s Women comes an astonishing account of the revolutionary artist Andy Warhol and his scandalous relationships with the ten women he deemed his “Superstars”.“Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil,” Andy Warhol confessed, “of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them.” Obsessed with celebrity, the silver-wigged artistic icon created an ever-evolving entourage of stunning women he dubbed his “Superstars”—Baby Jane Holzer, Edie Sedgwick, Nico, Ultra Violet, Viva, Brigid Berlin, Ingrid Superstar, International Velvet, Mary Woronov, and Candy Darling. He gave several of them new names and manipulated their beauty and talent for his art and social status with no regard for their safety, their dignity, or their lives.In Warhol’s Muses, bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer shines a spotlight on the complex women who inspired and starred in Warhol’s legendary underground films—The Chelsea Girls, The Nude Restaurant, and Blue Movie, among others. Drawn by the siren call of Manhattan life in the sixties, they each left their protected enclaves and ventured to a new world, Warhol’s famed Factory, having no sense that they would never be able to return to their old homes and familiar ways again. Sex was casual, drugs were ubiquitous, parties were wild, and to Warhol, everyone was transient, temporary, and replaceable. It was a dangerous game he played with the women around him, and on a warm June day in 1968, someone entered the Factory and shot him, changing his life forever.Warhol’s Muses explores the lives of ten endlessly intriguing women, transports us to a turbulent and transformative era, and uncovers the life and work of one of the most legendary artists of all time.
