I put off reading this book because so many people gave it excellent reviews. I was afraid it would not live up to the hype. I honestly did myself a disservice by not picking this book up right away.
The cover is beautiful and inviting. The green of her dress just pops off the cover. I started this book last night late and finished it this afternoon. I didn't want to go to sleep last night because I was so involved! I wanted Evelyn to be real. I wanted to be reading a real memoir. Evelyn was such a complex character. You know she did wrong but you still love her. You still want her to come out on top. You want to know every little detail of her life. I found myself devouring this book. I would get mad when my boyfriend tried to talk to me. I kept shooing him away. I spent hours out in the back yard with the breeze blowing while Evelyn told me her story. I give this book 5 stars and have added it to my all time favorite reads. Run don't walk to pick up this book. You will not be disappointed. I feel like Taylor Jenkins Reid can do no wrong lately.
