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.

They dealt with almost all the different types of relationships possible
I loved the relationship between Evelyn and Harry
And the motherhood concept of both Evelyn and Monique.
And the last line of the book of course🫶🏻.

I thought the parts with Evelyn far outshone the bits with Monique. But we do discover by the end why Evelyn chose Monique specifically, and the book earns back a little bit with that ending.
I thought it was an excellent yarn, and the way the story was told (first person narrative by Evelyn for the most part) was a wise choice. You really do feel like an old movie star is telling you about her life.
There’s nothing particularly earthshaking in here, but that said, I was pleasantly surprised at how much of the narrative addressed social issues like homophobia, racism, and sexism. I was also a little surprised at just how moved I was by the ending of the book.
I enjoyed this at least as much as Daisy Jones and the Six, maybe a little more. I didn’t listen to it as an audiobook but I bet it would be a good one.
