TJR did work in film production for a bit, so I think her style and approach is definitely influenced by that world more than the straightforward literary one. The audiobook is a really good medium for it, three different narrators for the different sections (Monique, Sub Rosa articles and Old Evelyn's recollections), and I agree she probably had half a thought in her head when she was writing how it could be adapted, with the knowledge, connections and experience she has.

I do love her work as a sort of middle ground for me in terms of feeling a little deeper than just a simple beach read, but not a full on philosophical, leaves you questioning something novel. I can think about fame and the world of celebrities and how she portrays it- and then I can just shut the book and move on with my life.
