I was barely two pages in and already knew that I’d love it. The story incredibly diverse despite its Old Hollywood setting The more I think about this book, the more I love it! I can’t say for sure what drew me to this book. I haven’t read anything by Reid before. This is genuinely one of the most remarkable novels I have ever read. It was really interesting to see Monique’s character arc though. I mean at the beginning she was a shy mouse. I know Reid tackled a lot of problematic topics in this book, but she did it in such a positive and sensible way. This is must read book.
