This story made me think on what some of the characters did after the story was over. To me that marks it as a really good story. The story was a historical fiction about old Hollywood and the people in it. It was also about the biblical character Salome who I barely know anything about because there is not a lot to her story in the bible. Very well written and super interesting. It talked about things I had little knowledge about and usually don't think about and fully engaged me. If you like very well-written historical fiction or are even a little curious about old-time Hollywood I'd highly recommend it. Heck read it anyway because it was very good. 4.5 stars
Reading this (or listening to the audiobook, rather) felt like watching an opera and the inevitable progress towards a tragic ending
I’m NOT crying, YOU’RE crying 😭😭
I mean golden age Hollywood big budget historical feature??? Three complicated women with their own stories??? This is where I thrive!
Do you ever read an author with all the same interests as you that executed them stupendously???? Well I do and it’s Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
Literally I’m not even gonna read any descriptions anymore. I’m just jumping in head first to every book she’s written.

Suspense, intrigue, mystery, romance. I really enjoyed this historical fiction! The chapter character perspective changes frequently which can be a bit dense to follow at times but it all comes together at the end. I would read this again!!
4 - good book, I'd recommend it to certain people in my life
