This book was truly phenomenal. From the start I knew I was in for an incredible story, and it was delivered! This was a devastating but hopeful story, and I was so immersed in the story and characters and relationships that when I closed the book, I felt like I left a small part of myself behind. The last 50 or so pages had me sobbing and wishing the best for the characters. I loved this book.

Guys- This was great. I loved all the characters ( HARRY) and even the side characters that kept making re-accruing pop ups even when u hated the character ( I’m looking at you Don and Max ). 
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.
