albeit a somewhat predictable ending this book still manages to pull at your heart strings the entire way through. it has wonderful representation and references to history especially LGBTQ history. Evelyn is a very complicated character but she is beautifully written in a way that makes her both lovable and dislikable at the same time. overall it is a beautiful book with beautiful lessons. i wish we had gotten to dive more into her childhood and not center the book around only her husband but after all isn’t that the point.

I wanted to love this book after reading the plot and seeing rave reviews, but it was not for me. It took some time to get into, and even then, the characters were unlikable. The story was clunky and repetitive. A member of my book group said it reads like a bad Lifetime movie, and I couldn't have said it better myself.

I can see why this is such a popular book and I think it lived up to the hype. 

I loved this book. It was such a good read. The writing was wonderful and I enjoyed the plot, there were a few twists that I didn't predict. The characters were good and I enjoyed the relationships. I enjoyed the 1950s to 1980s Hollywood setting with the glamour, fame and problems with fame.
