I was really expecting to feel meh about this book and went in with low expectations. How wrong I was! I couldn't put the book down. Evelyn was so captivating, a deeply flawed and selfish woman who at the same time was deeply self-aware about it. Toward the end of her life, retired actress asks reporter Monique Grant to write her biography. Together the two women analyze Hugo's life as Hugo takes what is believed to be the truth of her love life and flips it on its head. A riveting tale of star-crossed love and a woman who will sacrifice whatever and whoever she must for fame until life forces her to take stock in the choices she's made.
