Going into this I knew that A.R.Torre wont disappoint and it didn't. Fulfilled all my expectations.
I loved d multiple povs and how it alternated between d povs. The twist at the end left me a bit confused but I really enjoyed itt. Def one of my fav books and a very unique plotline.
Def recommend! Actually anything by A.R.Torre, I highly recommend!
The only book I haven't read by her yet is Every last secret should get to that asap.
This book could've been a 5. Take away the girl detective, the main lady, and the husband pov this book would've been great. But all the added point of views wasn't it especially when they didn't really play such a big part. Toooooo much back and forth. But over all it was a decent listen
Dark Side Of Hollywood. This book is perfect for those types that love the darker stories of Hollywood, and particularly the stories about how demented and depraved some "wholesome" childhood stars become as adults. At under 300 pages, it is a fairly quick read, but with every chapter coming from a different character's perspectives - and several of them, to boot - this may be one that is too complex for some to follow. And yet, that storytelling mechanic actually works well for this particular tale, particularly the deeper into the tale we get. In the end, it even becomes a bit of a mindbender trying to determine who is actually responsible - so again, people that like their endings all tied up in a bow... probably not your thing either. Overall an interesting tale that keeps the reader engaged, and one that will work well for those darker summer moods. Very much recommended.
