レビュー
Complete surprise. I didn't expect to enjoy this but I did. It is NOT a man's book bur read it as a book about Hollywood.
Taylor Jenkins Reid books never disappoint and this one defiantly did not!Evelyn is such an amazingly written character and she captures the true meaning of what it means to be a movie star in the 50s, and the lengths she is willing to go to be a star.This book was a joy to read with some twists. Evelyn was willing to do anything for the people she loves, even if it means sacrificing the carrer she spent so long creating for herself.This book is a different take on enemies to lovers and I loved it and really enjoyed experiencing all of Evelyns relationships, but it also showed what it was like to be bisexual in the 50s.Evelyn is willing to give up everything for Celia, even after all the mistakes and pain she has caused Celia, but she is wiling to take Evelyn back for he last time before her sad and tragic death.Evelyn has lost everything she ever loved in her life, her daughter and her wife.
Easy read with a bit of mystery but predictable. Good if you have been struggling to get back into reading.
3'5 STARS“Never let anyone make you feel ordinary.”Se viene impopular opinion. A ver el libro no ha estado mal como nos cuentan toda la historia de Evelyn, pero no he llegado a conectar con ella aunque eso no quita que me parezca increíble su historia, también me viene a la cabeza en esta historia ni los malos son tan malos ni los buenos son tan buenos porque Evelyn por supuesto que es un personaje gris pero el libro me daba la sensación como que la ponían en alguna situación como de "mala" y la otra parte de la historia su otra mitad digámoslo así por los spoilers tampoco es que fuera un angelito no sé También he visto mucho drama innecesario, vale es la vida de Evelyn pero por que tanto drama porque era necesario que muriera la hija pregunto, no tenían bastante con matar a todos los de su alrededor que también la hija, en finY el personaje que amado con todo mi corazón ha sido Harry Cameron ♥♥♥Así que de momento me quedo con Daisy que precisamente esta semana se ha visto un teaser y ahhh me muero de ganas de ver la serie ñlsdfkjdñlsfjñlasfjñalsfj
This book didn't really do it for me but I didn't entirely hate it either.I liked reading about Evelyn's Hollywood antics but overall the book lacks depth. Everything in this book just seems overly superficial. For example, when the author kept randomly throwing in random descriptions of what the people were wearing, in great detail, I knew I wouldn't be rating this book higher than a 4 star.I totally see why it's a bestseller as the book is framed as a biography but is read as if it were written for a column in a magazine. It included all the juicy gossip of a famous person's life but excluded all of that person's character. Overall, I found the book to be quite shallow but maybe it was intended that way. Hollywood can be a very shallow place after all. I've never been one for drama and gossip which is another reason why I think I'm so indifferent about the book and found the characters hard to like let alone love (Apart from Harry. I loved Harry's character).
evelyn and celia have ruined me but also they are now everything to me. this book is just so beautifully written and i am in fact already planning a reread.
