The reader and main characters have a complex relationship. The sorry is told in both past and present viewpoints, the complexity of love, friendship, LGBTQIA lifestyles in the early Hollywood years through into the Stonewall riots. The storytelling is mesmerizing and well paced and detailed. Excellent, engaging and highly entertaining read
