My afternoon: ironing and Styling Hollywood - which has made me yearn for some books about Hollywood glamour and backstagey stuff. I‘m open to fiction and non fiction - give me your recommendations pretty pretty please!

PerksOfBeingABookworm I‘ll try to think of more recommendations, but off the top of my head, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It‘s my favorite book! 5y
Verity @PerksOfBeingABookworm I read that earlier this year (or maybe late last year) and *loved* it. Have you read her latest? 5y
PerksOfBeingABookworm I have! I thought it was good (but Evelyn was way better). At some point I got tired of the transcript format, but I eventually settled back into it. I liked how the story was told from multiple points of view; it was interesting to see the same events being described in completely different ways. (edited) 5y
Verity @PerksOfBeingABookworm I have trouble working which one I liked more - I‘m better with movie history than I am with music history so I found it easier to spot which bits came from which stars‘ stories in Evelyn but I saw TJR talking about Daisy *live* and in person so that was super cool too. I‘ve recommended Daisy for my sister‘s book club this month (she‘s in China and trying to make new friends) 5y
