After a while, a book that make me cry. I know Daphne was going to die but it was still difficult. I like a good Hollywood romance.
Bailey and Chelsea had gone their seperate ways amicably. After 11 months they met at Eleanor's house. Together they read from the diaries. First with Eleanor then without her and in the end with her again. I read this book in less than 24 hours.

I liked this book and, yes, I cried twice. If Goodreads offered 1/2 stars, I would have gone 3.5.
I enjoyed the dual stories but wish there would have been more of both of them. I know, that's probably too much to ask for but I felt like we only got to skim the surface of both couples.
I still recommend the book to romance readers. It's a good one!

This is an interesting and entertaining read that speaks to relationships. How easy it is to neglect the one you love and how precious and wonderful life can be with the right person in your life. The reader gets to travel back in time through a series of diary entries to the golden years of Hollywood when same sex couples had to disguise their true feelings for each other or risk being black listed by the big studios. Well edited and well paced and well deserving of its Goldie award, Ms Paynter had written a lovely story from beginning to end. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
