I think it was a very interesting biography of a complicated woman. You really grow to care for Evelyn and her struggles as well as her undeniable strength and tenacity. She was a really compelling main character but I found Monique and her story to be somewhat uninteresting. I didn’t find I had the same emotional attachment to her character and struggles so the ending actually fell a little flat for me from both of their character arcs.
