My heart is a bloody heap on the floor, a gaping hole left in my chest I have no clue how to nurse for.

Even though you know there’s tragedy on the horizon, a sense of heartbreak looming all the while, this story just keeps luring you to make it to the finish line with its beautiful world-building and defined characters.

All the characters have my heart. Truly. Not a single page is wasted. What a BEAUTIFUL story of love and hope. I just wish I didn’t drag my feet getting to reading it in the fir ...more

This was a very interesting book. I am not sure what I expected, but it certainly was not that. The synopsis does not give anything away and that is just how you need to enter this book. It is a great read.

Loved the story & the central romance of the book made me tear up quite a bit, but can’t get over the writing style. Reads at an elementary level with pretty flat dialogue & underdeveloped character arcs. A bit overhyped but still a fun read.

A lot of people are saying they didn't like the characters but I kind of loved that I didn't like Evelyn. I love that none of the characters were caricature-like, they were just people that you get to know well enough to form an opinion of them. And people, well, all of them are flawed, most try to be good, and some of them are jerks more often than not. IMO, Jenkins Reid always develops this beautifully.
Her ability to keep the characters and the storyline realistic make her one of my favorite ...more

This book was fantastic and clever. This is the first book I've read by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and she is a phenomenal writer. The characters are complex and I although extremely frustrating, they are realistic. There are so many secrets that unfold throughout the storytelling from Evelyn, and everything detail has some kind of meaning.

I really enjoyed reading this book, and definitely recommend it to anyone. I'll definitely be reading more books by Reid in the near future. ...more

Absolutely brilliant!

This book centered on Monique Grant interviewing the ever-famous Hollywood star Evelyn Hugo. It’s my first book to read of TJR and I loved every moment of it. It really makes you think about how we never really know someone for who they truly are. It is definitely a page-turner.

I’m rating it a 4.6 out of 5.
