I'd seen this book everywhere on the internet and wasn't super interested, but as soon as I began I just didn't want to put it down. Each reveal was a surprise - whether joyful or tragic - and it's one of those books that I'm going to wait to read again so I can forget the details and discover it all over again. A sweet, tragic, calculated series of romances - or at least, PR relationships - with one beautiful, genuine love at the centre.

6 star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just finished this book at 1 am and I am not fine. Totally not fine. I strongly believe something inside me died during the course of reading this book. This was and probably will be the best book I‘ve ever read. Can you believe I originally never wanted to pick it up because I thought I don’t like literary fiction that much and it’s probably just overrated?!! It‘s not!!! If anything, not enough people have read it yet, because it‘s the greatest thing ever and such an important story to tell. Her take on bisexuality, journalism, lies and facts and life in the spotlight?! Too good and too important I loved every second of it. I want to reread right now like I read the last line (which was ICONIC to say the least) and I could have immediately started with the first line again and I am still really tempted to. Wow just wow.

There is a lot to unpack in this book. It’s intense and it definitely made me feel things. I varied throughout the book with how I felt about Evelyn - admiring her tenacity, feeling sorry for her, hating her… and I cried through the last few chapters. Themes of finding your true self, loving who you want (but marrying who can help you climb the ladder), friendship, gay identify, and of course old Hollywood glamour.

This is my first 5 star read of the year. The book moved very quickly from the beginning. Although there were a couple of times I tried to figure out while I was still reading, the twists at the end were so worth it. The feelings I have for this book are very controversial. This is definitely a book I’ll be thinking about for awhile.
