All the Stars in the Heavens by Adriana Trigiani

2.0

This novel primarily focused on the relationship between Clark Gable and Loretta Young, co-starring in The Call of the Wild. As a fan of the golden age of Hollywood, the underdeveloped characters and jumpy timeline left me disappointed. The lengthy, dragged out account of the affair between Gable and Young left me bored and wanting more. What I did like? The inclusion of secondary characters, including Spencer Tracy, Jean Harlow, Hattie McDonald, to name a few, showing brief glimpses during various points of their careers. The story is told from various points of view, which can lead the read confused on what happened and where exactly they are at in the story. It'd be hard for me to ever pick this up again or recommend.
