The Blonde by Anna Godbersen
4.0
As a self-confessed Marilyn/Norma Jeane devotee, I truly enjoyed this one. I think one of the reasons why Marilyn remains immortal is the fact that people are still so interested in her and thus, stories such as this come to life.
You have to read this one with a grain of salt, though, and remember that while it is based on true events, not everything about it is true. Godbersen did a remarkable job in rehashing past events and putting her own spin to it.
There were some parts that were quite...how do we put it? Slow-paced? But all in all, this novel was such an entertaining read--and a good way to see Marilyn through a different set of eyes.
