For a story about the golden age of Hollywood, and for a story spanning decades, the narrative felt very unrooted from the time to me. I couldn't tell which decade we were in until Evelyn made a pointed comment, and when the time is the story, I'd rather it be more immersive. I also found the interviewer's storyline very weak and paint-by-numbers. The end also felt like a cop-out.

The story switches between current day (2017) and flashbacks of Evelyn Hugo's rise to fame in Hollywood. The transitions were seamless and the story telling had smooth fluidity to it while still capturing you in the emotions of the events.
It covers a wide range of themes from race, gender politics, LGBT+ with such grace.
It opens your eyes to the reality of being in the limelight and how everything might not always be as it seems.

At first I was upset with Henry's storyline and felt that she had given that character a throw away ending but when you get to the ending you realize that the author is so smart and sneaky. </spoilerModerate: Sexual content
