There is a lot to unpack in this book. It’s intense and it definitely made me feel things. I varied throughout the book with how I felt about Evelyn - admiring her tenacity, feeling sorry for her, hating her… and I cried through the last few chapters. Themes of finding your true self, loving who you want (but marrying who can help you climb the ladder), friendship, gay identify, and of course old Hollywood glamour.
