Thank you William Morrow and BiblioLifestyle for the gifted copy of Can't We Be Friends. All opinions in this review are my own.

I'm always fascinated by historical fiction written about famous people, but then when I go to read it, it falls kind of flat for me. I appreciate that these two women were actually friends in real life so I did like reading about their friendship even though most of the details are fictional. Overall, definitely an interesting read if you want to learn more about Ella and Marilyn!
