4.5

I approached this book tentatively,  because of the implied heterosexual plotline - I had assumed that the LGBT tag was perhaps mistaken. I was delighted to be wrong though. The end of the book was quite dark and occasionally the movement of the plot seemed too complex for the amount of words allocated to it. However, I really enjoyed learning about Evelyn and Celia, and the movie-star world. I would definitely read it again.
