Bette and Joan: The Divine Feud by Shaun Considine
So, Ryan read this book and accidentally posted it to my account. Naturally, I had to read it. Well, that and he told me the book was incredible, and he is right.
Considine can really weave a narrative around historical events, let me tell you. He captures both Bette and Joan's personality without sugar-coating or demonizing either one of them. Whenever possible, he uses one's quotes as a rebuttal to the other for a refreshingly honest and often hilarious effect.
The beauty of how he conveys the complexities of these ladies is that you'll laugh and cry and cheer for and chastise each of them as you read--often aloud. I was honestly sad to see this book go even as I couldn't put it down.
