This book has a slow start but picks up, and doesn’t slow down! There’s so many phases of this book and I loved the progression and final connections!

I found I was enjoying this, it's a page-turner! Reliving the "truth" behind the icon from the safety of the present was gossipy and enthralling and could have been truthful.

taylor jenkins reid is without a doubt one of my favorite fiction authors. she has such a striking ability to seamlessly piece together a realistic world and intertwine that world and it’s characters into all of her novels. she also has a wonderful talent for pacing her novels.  i do believe malibu rising is her best (i have yet to read carrie soto though!), but this was a great read as well. i loved evelyn, as well as celia, harry, and john. but, i honestly did not care for monique. when looking at the bigger picture, i understand that monique was essential to the story, but i will not lie and say i was not bored when reading her chapters. i just could not find it in me to care much about her, even if that does sound harsh.

Spoiler

i was NOT expecting the insane plot twist with monique’s father. like OH MY GOD? with harry of all people! taylor you’re crazy for that one.

I never realised just how complex and multifaceted love can really be. I love how this book puts just as big of an ephasis on friendship and family as it does on romance. 

Evelyn Hugo is a superbly well written character. She is complex and her story is so fascinating. I was captivated by her as if she was really a super famous movie star, and I loved her for how she acknowledges and tells her story truthfully.
