All the Stars in the Heavens by Adriana Trigiani
2.0
Ok, so I had no idea what this book was about when I started listening to it. I checked it out from the library because I had read The Shoemaker's Wife and thought I had enjoyed it (when I looked back at my review I realized that I thought it was just ok).
Once I started listening I thought it was a pretty interesting story set in a time that I don't know much about (1930s). Then I started reading reviews on here and started having some conflicted feelings about reading a romanticized version of Gable/Young's relationship. I understand that this is a fictional accounting, but the characters are based on real people. I had very mixed feelings while listening to the second half of the book once I read this article: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/loretta-young-date-raped-clark-gable-relative-article-1.2290866
