I can understand why this book is so popular. Taylor Jenkins Reid has an excellent writing style. It is easy to understand and follow along with her writing. The bulk of the book felt somewhat repetitive and just filler but Reid's writing style kept it semi-interesting and kept me reading.
The plot twist was unique but felt anticlimactic. It had been built up throughout the book as the reason everyone will hate Evelyn Hugo only to end up being something Evelyn really had no control over and wasn't that big of a deal. Evelyn Hugo only slightly changed the outcome of the plot twist but did not contribute anything significant to the event so it fell flat for me. The book wrapped up nicely leaving a fairly closed ending with a good sense of how the character's lives would be after "The End". I would recommend this book if you are looking for a slow-paced book that deals with many issues in Hollywood and a somewhat repetitive but outrageous and not-so-far-fetched story.
