The Song Is You by Megan Abbott
3.0
If you aren't crazy about the Guys and Dolls era, both for the despicable men and inane women, this isn't the book for you.
It is a hypothesis of what actually happened to real-life (well once) Jean Spangler back in the golden days of movie studios.
Most characters are not real, but the setting and Jean are/were.
Not a terribly likable narrator and the behavior of people is abhorrent, which is why I probably only gave it a 3, but it is a fast and otherwise enjoyable read.
