I think huge parts of this was a great depiction of what 1950-70’s female movies stars had to experience or sacrifice in order to make it big and that beauty was a dangerous weapon if utilized appropriately.
I will say the husbands get way too much run time at points and the last 1/4 of the book is so packed full of plot but it doesn’t necessarily feel rushed as the whole point of the book was following her progression as a movie star and by that point in the book she was retired.
Overall it was gut wrenchingly beautiful and heartbreaking and a drama filled read that captures your attention.

Now, I loved Evelyn. Her story was just constant heartbreak. It’s hard to reflect on the fact that she only truly WANTED two of the seven husbands. It was hard to watch her struggle with her sexuality vs society and it’s scrutiny. It’s amazing that she went through everything to just have a job she loved AND a partner she loved. But it was so hard to maintain that love and happiness. I’m so happy she got to live and love in Spain.
I also loved Harry & was devastated by how he passed. I cried abou the funeral. And it was tough to like Celia. But Monique I could absolutely have done without.
