Es muy hermoso, todo el mundo debería darle una oportunidad a este libro. 
Una historia de amor y de dolor al mismo tiempo. Les aseguro que van a amar a evelyn y van a odiar a muchos otros personajes.

I love old hollywood, and I love scheming female leads, and this book combines them in a wonderful way. It was also unexpectedly emotionally impactful, and even the

ambiguity of the ending, in terms of how monique feels about evelyn

really fits in with the theme of appreciating the complexity of a life, especially of a star off-camera.
