While I appreciated this little extension of the Rules of Civility story, it felt more like an amuse-bouche--a not something that should be left standing alone. And the trailed-off ending elicited a frown. Still, Evey, I'm waiting to see where you end up.

My only complaint is I wanted more! I love Amor Towles writing.

How delightful. After enjoying Rules of Cilvility the chance to visit with Evelyn is lovely. A series of six short, interlinked stories, these show Amor Towers skills with language, and painting people a scenes quickly, efficiently and delightfully.

I liked this book even though I am not really a fan of Eve.

I had been looking for this book for ages and was delighted when Mr. Towles posted a link to order a copy. (https://shop.shakeandco.com/print-in-store/eve-hollywood-signed-edition-amor-towles -this is the only place it's available it seems.) This is a lovely, though slim, follow up of interconnected short stories to Rules of Civility. It doesn't have the depth of his other books but, like everything he writes, it was a joy to read.

Like a nice drink at the end of a day. Soothing. Perfectly balances.

Not as good as the book that it's inspired by, it was nice to get a glimpse of what happened to Eve after she disappeared from the Rules of Civility. It does feel a little bit like a couple of episodes that were cut from the book in the final edit, but I still enjoyed getting a glimpse into Eve's life in California, even if it was frustratingly incomplete.
