What I Liked:

• I liked the formatting of this book. It jumped between characters and between time periods and it really worked.
• I really felt like the main characters were really well-rounded.
• I liked the look into fame in a more negative viewpoint - it's not something you see often.

What I Didn't Like/Wanted More Of

• This book felt like a not-so-great mix of Daisy Jones and Evelyn Hugo.
• Pacing was slow
• There were a TON of side characters that weren't fleshed out and a few plot points that fell flat.

You Should Read If You Like:

• Daisy Jones and the Six
• The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
