I loved reading this, the characters felt very real and the setting was very vivid. I love family dramas and this one did not disappoint. A great read that kept me hooked throughout and I enjoyed the world of the Hollywood glamour you are emersed in and how it ties in with other TJR novels. The only thing was the ending felt anticlimactic to me,

they kept hinting and foreshadowing to the fire at the end but then when the fire happened, no one was hurt and there werent really any bad consequences for it
