I enjoyed this book a lot, the different perspectives (love Ruby, although she only appears here and there) and time jumps. 
Also how the mystery unraveled bit by bit, and the descriptions of theater life in NYC, and the tv world in LA added an interesting aspect to the story. 

I liked the layered characters of Flora and Margot.

All in all a story about love, family, friendship, privilege, ambitions, betrayal and trust. 

There is no perfect life for anybody

I am a theatre person and I could see so many of my fellow theatre people in this. It made me nostalgic for a show I haven't even closed yet. 

It also started some conversations with friends about our own relationships and views on them. Definitely a slower start, but we'll written to drag you into the overall plot.
