    Great Book

    This is one of her newest books and I just started reading this. Taylor Jenkins Reid has also written Daisy Jones and the Six. Her writing style is compelling and brilliant.

    Very depressing book - skip it.

    At first I was drawn in by the mystery but then I realized none of these characters were likeable and Evelyn was a manipulative schemer. It also had a strong agenda that I didn't need to be hammered with, I can get that any day in the news. By the end I felt like I needed a shower and a ritual cleansing to get the bad mojo out of my mind.

    HOLLYWOOD here I come! N

    Look it kept me so interested. I finished it in two days. I loved the main character and all the other characters. I already gave the book to a friend and told her to read it as soon as possible. If you’re a woman trying to find who you really are read this book, because the main character knew how to do it.
