Another gripping story from Taylor Jenkins Reid. After Evelyn Hugo, I didn’t know if I could expect better or even the same. I couldn’t put this one down for even a second. Though her nonstop introduction of new characters gets overwhelming at times, Reid’s ability to interweave such complex characters’ lives together is still truly miraculous. The Jenkins Reid spin on Hollywood and how broken people find their way forward is something that stays with me even when the story ends.
