I listened to this book on audible, it's different from what I would usually read, but it was reflective at times, and towards the end I was listening to it whenever I could which is a good indicator that I was enjoying it.

I didn't think I was going to like this at first - not really any fault of the writing, but it's very different from my usual genres and I found it a bit too straightforward and (at times) tell-not-show-y. But as soon as it switched to Evelyn's POV I was enraptured. I cried a whole bunch of times, fell in love with most of the characters, and I will be telling everyone I know to read this.

I zoomed through this book. I was really compelled to find out all its secrets. But now that I'm done, I'm not sure how o feel about it. The ending should have had more to it after a major revelation late in the book. The handling of race was clumsy. But I loved the fictionalization of a situation many in Hollywood found themselves in.
