DID NOT FINISH: 0%

I love old Hollywood, I love historical fiction with shifting perspectives, so this book seemed made for me. And yet a few chapters in I just couldn’t commit to it. I think sometimes I’m just in the mood for nonfiction, may revisit later. The one mention of Rita Moreno in it did make me want to read her memoir tho.
