I preferred everything from Evelyn’s POV - it had a stronger voice and emotional depth. The prose from Evelyn’s POV is stronger too. 

I get that Monique is still growing into herself but found her narration and character a little cliché. I always found myself annoyed when the story switched back to her. 

The intertwining of their stories was interesting but didn’t affect me in some profound way. I was more moved by Evelyn’s singular account of her relationships. So, I’d recc for fun but it wasn’t life changing for me.

I read this book very quickly, it definitely got me out of a slump. At first, I liked the fast paced complicated life of a girl striving to be a Hollywood star, no matter the cost. Then I stayed for the hard hitting, realistic love. The ugly, heartbreaking, but also beautiful, friendly, comfortable love.  Absolutely loved this book

Oh my god where to even start with this. This was the first book I’ve read all year so far due to a book slump & oh man did it rip me out of it. I didn’t realize how close I had gotten to these characters honestly & yes I weeped so hard at the end. Truly magnificent.
