Did not love. Felt flat.
This book grabbed my attention more than I had expected with a plot focusing more on an old Hollywood film. I always love stories told with multiple perspectives, especially in this novel I loved how the focus included the character of Salome. Her story tied in well with the rest of the characters and also was in a way keeping track of the timeline of the whole book honestly. The last few chapters and their apt title were so gripping I didn't want to put it down. Tragic story of fame and loss and desire and what you have to lose to get what you want.

It gave me major Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo vibes, so if you're into glamorous, layered historical fiction, this one's for you.
The multiple POVs were handled really well, and I loved how it blended a classic mystery/detective voice with Moreno-Garcia’s signature storytelling style. There’s an old-school Hollywood noir feel to it, which made it super fun to read.
