4.5 stars for making me forget repeatedly that this is a novel!

This book is magnificent. The characters are so fleshed out I feel like they should have Wikipedia pages. Surely, they are real people.

I didn't expect to like this book. I read a review that said it felt like another bury-your-gays trope written by a straight woman, and I came into it ready to be disappointed. Now that I've finished, I can say I respectfully disagree.

Evelyn and Celia get their happy ending. Harry and John had it, too. But you can't live forever. People die. To give them a perfect life would feel like a disservice to the LGBT+ people who lived during these times. Who died of AIDS or heartbreak or after spending a an amazing, imperfect life with the love of their lives. I think that reality is captured perfectly in this book, and it's a gorgeous, emotional read.

I am not sure why, but I couldn't put this book down. If I wasn't reading it, I was thinking of it. I am not sure what is captivating about the book. The idea that fame isn't the best recipe for a great life ... Was Hugo evil or does everyone live a life to protect themselves and the ones they love? Don't we all hide and lose parts of ourselves?
