I’m conflicted about this one, leaving me feeling more “meh” about it overall. The storyline was captivating enough to hold my attention (although it didn’t really pick up for me until the second half) and there were some characters I really loved.

However, the writing style goes beyond holding the reader’s hand throughout the process. A lot of the story direction was quite predictable. Reading from the perspective of a “girlboss” was a bit annoying, as well.

Wow, just wow! Even though there are many disturbing things about this book (aka domestic abuse, lying, violence, tampering with the crime scene, etc.) I loved how well-crafted the characters were. Evelyn Hugo did what she had to do to get what she wanted and succeed in life; it was truly inspiring as a woman. She was super flawed, which made her compelling. Her story inspired Monique to take what she deserved and live a fuller life. I hope people who read this don't misinterpret the message. That fame was expensive, and it wasn't for everyone. Fame looked glamorous because of the money, but there were a lot of darkness and sacrifices involved to stay at the top. Her freedom had limits, and it made me sad. Evelyn wanted to express her true self, but she couldn't easily do it. It was the curse of her status in life. Overall, this book was excellent and a potential reread. Thank you so much, Taylor, for writing this book! People, love as long as you can; we never know our end.✨
