I reeaalllyyyyyy wanted to like this book but the pace moved too slow and all of the characters had far too much resentment (and trauma) to even conceptualize healing or sharing emotions with each other.

The things that saved the story from being DNF? 
1. Reading about a black woman who passes in old Hollywood.
2. The narrators
