A new favorite in my collection. This story was different from any story I've read and has a cast of  relatable characters and relationships. I could not put it down and simultaneously wanted to find out the end while also being sad it ended.

I knew people loved this book, I was just surprised that I loved it too! 
Like how can I hate Evelyn for hurting so many people, being ruthless and a cold-hearted beast but at the same time I love her so much… she’s so so unbelievably strong, she’s a real fighter!
This was the greatest way to tell the story, through everything single husband only to lead her to her one true love…

! 
I adore their love story because it‘s raw, and sad and hurts. It’s the realest thing you can imagine! And Harry, how I see Cary Grant every time I think of him! 
This story left me speechless, and I’m gonna need a few days to process!

This book is beautifully written. It was a real pleasure to read. I absolutely love the news articles scattered throughout, you get insight into both Evelyn's view and the Media's view of her (and how those conflict). I went into this book knowing there was a theme of LGBT+, but I absolutely did not expect this book to go the way it did. 
I know not all books that "blow up" and become popular are great but this book is absolutely amazing.

I really liked the premise for this book. I haven't really read a book like it. The author could've just written the fake autobiography of Evelyn Huego, but it wouldn't have been nearly as compelling. Even though Monique's role in the book was relatively small compared to all of Evelyn's story, it was essential and kept the book engaging. On top of this, the book is a charming queer romance that explores the unique experience of bisexuality and the vitalness of found family.
