This book was handed down to me and I’d been saving it for when I wanted a “light read”. And though it began feeling like a frivolous chronicle of a fictional celebrity, the complexity of both the character and the plot didn’t take long to reveal themselves. Like the narrator, I felt a range of emotions toward the main character — including disgust, admiration and heartbreak — which made it a page-turner. More importantly to me, it gave me an opportunity to consider the many loves of my own life and examine how I relate to them, and who I am because of them.
