Very easy to finish book. Captures the addictive qualities of viewing celebrities’ lives. Characters are relatable without feeling like the author is trying to make them relatable. Fun to read and sneakily profound.

Really enjoyed although Monique's pov is incredibly immature and under developed compared to Evelyn's, especially considering she is supposed to be some skilled journalist in her 30s.

Death mentioned in content warning because it's a story of a woman's life told when she was in her 80s or around that. Naturally being that age she has had friends die and will also soon die herself, hence the mention, although there are a few deaths that are more unexpected than others.

This book actually had me really invested in the characters. Everyone and their flaws felt so plausible and that I cheered for them when good things happened and felt physically ill when things went wrong. So often, I felt like this was written about actual people and found myself checking the authors name on the book to be sure it wasn’t listed as Monique. Haha. And then I caught myself wishing I could watch all the movies Evelyn and her fellow actors and actresses starred in. I was very surprised about how much I enjoyed this.
