I found myself so much more invested in this book than I was expecting. It’s emotional, sad, and yet still hopeful at times too. I found myself engrossed in these characters and their stories.
It’s a book about love, in all it’s different forms, but it’s also about grit, determination and survival.
This book feels real, as if Evelyn is a star that we have known for ages on our screens, that she’s a real person with real hopes and desires. That Monique is the one writing about Evelyn’s life.
Especially when it comes down to the heartbreaking truths of LGBT+ history, which is included heavily in this book, and the devastating themes of loss and grief.
It’s not something I would normally pick up, but after hearing a lot of people talk about Jenkins Reid, I wanted to give it a go. I am VERY glad I did.
