"Afia brings a compelling mystery and mostly well-drawn characters to this story about the dark side of Hollywood, family secrets, and finding a place that feels like home." -- Booklist "Passionate, emotional, suspenseful, and intensely human. Nekesa Afia writes a lush and atmospheric story like no one else, and As Long as You're Mine is no exception. At once sensual and chilling, it's a raw, unflinching look at the things we do in the name of identity, survival, and love. It's the kind of novel that forces you to turn the pages until you get to the end. A sensational story, penned by a sensational writer." --Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A dazzling plunge into the glamour and grit of early Hollywood, As Long as You're Mine delivers the juicy thrill of a scandal sheet while exposing the truths Hollywood tried to hide. Readers won't be able to resist Lorelei Davies, driven by ambition, undone by desire--but determined never to be trapped by either.
From the liquid silk and scandal of the 1930s to the cinched waists and picture-perfect lies of the 1950s, this is a haunting story about what women risk to own their truth. Gripping, sensual, and unforgettable, As Long as You're Mine will be playing in your head long after the credits roll. Afia's prose is taut and propulsive, laced with sharp brutality and unexpected tenderness." --Olesya Lyuzna, author of Glitter in the Dark " As Long as You're Mine shines as brightly as Afia's two leads, the doomed actress Lorelei Davies and the determined heiress Thea Ross. A heartbreaking and honest exploration of identity, fame, and love, wrapped up in an old-Hollywood mystery that kept me guessing until the last page. Absolutely iconic." --Jenny Adams, author of A Deadly Twenties Mystery Series.
