I went into reading this book without knowing much about it. And all I can say is, that I couldn’t put it down.
The characters are flawed, but in a way that makes them raw and real. If you have any experience with some of the devastating things that happen in the book, you know why some of the characters acted the way they did. Because humans aren’t perfect, and their stories aren’t perfect. You do selfish things when you get hurt.  
I thought it was a clever idea to put magazine articles in there. You could keep track of which year you were in and I liked that the characters talked about events that took place in the timeline like the Stonewall riots.
A really good book that I can recommend and will read again. 

“And at the end of her life, she was finally ready to be real. So I’m going to show you the real Evelyn.”
