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.

I enjoyed her various love stories in all their forms. I was not a fan of the ending and I am sensitive to the topic of cheating so this wasn't my thing.
