Fun, with just the right amount of melodrama and some surprising twists in the story. I found Monique much less compelling of a character than Evelyn (or Harry or Celia, for that matter), but luckily the book focused a lot more on Evelyn. It's also fun to play spot-the-influence with Evelyn - I'm far from an expert on Old Hollywood, but there's Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor all over, along with some others who would probably be spoilers to note. If you like [b:Scandals of Classic Hollywood: Sex, Deviance, and Drama from the Golden Age of American Cinema 20821197 Scandals of Classic Hollywood Sex, Deviance, and Drama from the Golden Age of American Cinema Anne Helen Petersen https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1398028966s/20821197.jpg 40167073] (the book or the topic), you'll probably enjoy this.
