A really great story that deals with the Civil Rights movement as well as current day race issues. I loved the dual timelines and the old Hollywood setting. Definitely read if you loved Evelyn Hugo or The Vanishing Half.

I wish we would have gotten more of Elise's/current day storyline - she felt very underdeveloped compared to both Kitty and Hazel. I also felt that the ending was very rushed and a bit clunky with random anecdotes thrown in. Definitely had 5 star potential and I hope Crystal Smith Paul comes out with another novel!
