This story gave me a perspective on fame I never considered. After reading this, I have so much more empathy for celebrities. I catch myself speculating their decisions, news articles, etc. and pausing to realize that I have no idea who these people are and that I can’t pass judgement on them because of that. I’m so glad I read this.

Well what a life…
Lots of people recommended me this book so I had to read it. 
As always Taylor Jenkins Reid knows how to write, it’s very easy to read and you always want to know what’s coming next! And let me tell you this is a prowess when you know how much I didn’t like Evelyn Hugo.
I could not care less about Evelyn, Celia, Monique and co… The only one likable was Harry and poor guy!
It’s still a good book and a great story. I like how transitions are done between the different eras, very flowing.

This book is mesmerizing from start to finish. I loved the old Hollywood references, the voice Jenkins Reid gave to Evelyn, and how it felt accurate to the character and the time she would have lived in without feeling dated or out of touch. I really couldn't put it down.
