Overall, however, the author did a very good job establishing a voice for Evelyn and making me care about her character even if I wouldn't have liked her as a real person.
I love the
I would recommend this book, with the caveat that you'll probably find yourself skimming past the parts about Monique.

I've put minor mentions of eating disorder above, but more accurately it's portrayals of dieting culture/actors restricting their weight for roles.physicsandfiberarts's review against another edition

Evelyn is such a complex character and I liked that although we got lots of answers, there was still an element of mystery at the end.
I did think ‘twists’ were a little predictable but other than that a great read.
Also I’m SO sorry but Celia was annoying🫣
Love Harry and Monique with all my heart🩵
My favourite by TJR that I’ve read so far:)
