4.75

4.75 out of 5 Stars: I loved the details and perspectives in this book.  I loved seeing more of Marlene and Anna May Wong's relationship and I wished they could've had the HEA that so many in Hollywood made people hide. As much as I love this era and specific genre of books for the fashion and the beauty, I also know how much hate there were for people in the "other" category where they were queer or just not white. They were fought against for different beliefs. This was the era of the witch hunt. This book was a perfect description of it all.
