This book had the ability to make you feel emotions. Harry being the most wonderful friend Evelyn could ever get, Connor brightening up their lives etc. How they proved marriage doesn't need anyone's approval. Celia and Evelyn had such a true love, that despite the years apart, despite the breakups, they ended up together. I truly fell in love with the side characters. She was truly an icon, hearing her speak was like being in the mind of someone truly influential and crazy, but in a genius way. Evelyn was truly one of the smartest, the way she rose to fame, the way she knew how to play her cards, the things she did to protect Celia, Harry, her daughter, herself. Somehow, the author managed to portray the dark side of hollywood, racial struggles, loss of cultural heritage and identity, lgbt+ struggles, best friend love, struggles of an actor, fighting with yourself, parent-child relationships, women rights, self empowerment and what not at the same time so beautifully, without making anything looked rushed or clumsy.Įverything was so wonderful. This book is one of the finest I have ever read and it kept me hooked till the last chapter. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a genius, and there's no other way to say it.
