"It just goes to show that money can’t buy happiness, folks."

One thing is for sure: If I were an actress in Hollywood, I wouldn't last ten minutes.

Legendary movie star Evelyn Hugo has requested Monique Grant for an interview. For Monique this is a big opportunity, as she thinks this will give her a push into a better position at her job. There is one catch: Evelyn doesn't want to do an interview, she wants Monique to write her tell all autobiography and sell it to the highest bidder.

There is one catch: Evelyn doesn't want to do an interview, she wants Monique to write her tell all autobiography and sell it to the highest bidder. Monique doesn't understand why Evelyn chose her, but decides to do it anyway.

I liked Evelyn a lot. She is determined to get where she wants, doing whatever it feels necessary. She was strong headed, smart and vulnerable. I enjoyed her spirit, reading her story all through her marriages and in the present, when she spoke with Monique. She was very cunning, she did a lot of things in order to become famous that were questionable and I don't think she exactly understood how her actions affected other people (view spoiler).

I also liked Monique very much. She seemed very keen and innocent, but also ambitious. She wanted to do right for Evelyn, for her job and for herself. She was very interesting and a great POV.

I have to say some things where quite predictable, specially in regards to Evelyn's (view spoiler).

Towards the end, the book just kept getting more depressing (view spoiler)

I very much enjoyed this book and Taylor Jenkins Reid's writting. It was very easy to follow and engaging.

Moral of the story: all that glitters in not gold. ...more

This book has been recommended to me forever and I finally got around to it. So glad I read this book. LOVED IT. It was just pure entertainment. Felt like read a gossip magazine but better. Evelyn was so flawed but you felt like you really knew her. She redeemed herself because she was so self aware. She made no excuses or really had a lot of regrets. Celebrity is not something I usually care about but this was a fantastic book.
