Silvia Moreno-Garcia does it again! Her writing transports you into 1950s Hollywood and even further into biblical times to tell the story of Salome. Two actresses want to do the story justice but have their own views on how Salome should be portrayed. When the newbie is picked over the struggling actress, tensions rise and come with their consequences...
I really enjoyed following the stories of the three women, Salome, Vera, and Nancy. At first they all seem so different, but as the story goes on and they denied what they want and pushed to their limits, they're more alike.
I listened to the audiobook and loved that it had a full cast. It really brought the book and the characters to life. It really dialed up the drama and built up the suspense and momentum at climax and made for a satisfying ending.
