I enjoyed it, but I didn’t feel an emotional tie to any character. I liked Malibu Rising better.
This was my first book of hers that I read and what I like about them is the universe. I think it’s fun that it’s all complete fiction, but feels like it could be real. Yeah, most contemporary fiction can check that box, but these books are about famous people. I’ll admit I googled Evelyn Hugo when I read this book a couple years ago because I thought maybe she was a celebrity I’d never heard of. So I liked the (albeit fake) window into the lives of celebrities.
Then I read Daisy Jones because I needed “a book about music” for my book challenge and I’d heard good things. That’s when I realized all of Reid’s books are in the same universe, and that’s fun. I wish more authors did that.

I get what you are saying. It could have been about Marylin or Elizabeth Taylor. In some scenes you could see old Hollywood.
