SOLVED. Girl dreams of being actress/model/singer, hangs around washed up popstar, who ends up drugging her and switching faces [s]

[Lauren]

I can't remember the title or the author, sorry :/. I do remember that there is a girl who's only dream is to be an actress/model/singer, so she starts to hang around with a washed-up male popstar. Her boyfriend senses something ominous, but she doesn't pay attention. At the end, the popstar drugs her, and has plastic surgeons switch his face with hers. Also, throughout the book, many random people are wearing masks of his face. The cover of the book is a cracked face, each feature from a different person.

It does sound like Sara's Face. In the meantime I've added description to your header, Lauren.

Moving this to Solved. GR reviewers said:

"Sara meets Jonathon Heat, a famous musician who has had so much plastic surgery his face collapses or is ruined (Michael Jackson, anyone?) He wears a mask of his own younger face and never lets anyone see the ruined mess that is his real face. Sara becomes obsessed with him and wears his mask all the time, too. He takes her under his wing..."

"Jonathon lives in a weird house with all these rooms, including a creepy plastic surgery center in his basement. Sara breaks with her parents and goes to live with Jonathon and begins to fall in love with him, or at least his fame. "

"Jonathon Heat was a famous rock star who had his own compound, surgeons, and assistants. All of the things a rich and famous celebrity would have--and then some. In fact, due to so much cosmetic surgery and experimental procedures, somehow Jonathon's face was destroyed to the point that he wore a mask at all times. With his high celebrity status, wearing a mask became a widespread thing to do. There were all sorts of masks--some with snouts, some with real hair, half-masks, full masks. "
