I always love a book that entails the behind-the-scenes of some kind of entertainment production and enjoyed the cast of characters that came from the writing room.
Helen is a bit hard to root for/like at times, but it makes sense from all of the family trauma and drama she has endured. Parts of her and Grant’s story seemed a bit choppy at parts (how quickly they went from enemies to friends to more) but I did enjoy this overall.
A lot of serious topics, but also a lot of spice (if that’s not your thing, I’d skip this one).
TW: death, suicide, substance abuse
