I really enjoyed Evelyn’s point of view throughout the book, but didn’t get on with Monique’s parts in the beginning, I eventually saw how it connected together but I just didn’t find those breaks in the story that interesting. Very good book club book, there are questions at the back to discuss too! I was slightly suprised at how rude Celia could be at times but I guess that demonstrated how she was as flawed as Evelyn even if she didn’t think so. It also show another side to the Georgia Peach, the friendly, cute, girl next door neighbour personality painted by the media.
Very interesting read too, to see the “Golden Era” of Hollywood through Evelyn. I would definitely recommend!
