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.

I liked the over-spanning discussion of the ambiguity of character and actions, Evelyn's portrayal, her work ethics and un-ethics, her sexuality, probably the most. The writing style was easy to follow and could perfectly capture the essence of whatever was presented.

I did not dislike the plot twist at the end, but it didn't really add anything to the main story for me. It felt like an attempt to find something to connect both main characters in a meaningful way and therefore didn't really catch me.

Overall I really enjoyed the book and find that it has many important scenes.

This was a reread from 2017 when I first read the book (which was also the time that the book was not that famous as it is now), and I feel that the book still holds up! I swear TJR laced this book with drugs- fast paced, easily readable, with a central character I couldn't take my attention away from, and heartbreaking too. Still has some sour spots here and there but overall a great book!
