Reviews

[Eugenia Horan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. It was a refreshing read, a bit different yet still managing to be captivating. I’m an old movie buff, so the aspect of films and stars of the late 60’s was thoroughly enjoyable as well. I’m thinking this book will become popular, and most definitely seeing it be made into a series or film.

Had a hard time getting into it but once I did I loved it. I did not see the ending until the last part. Loved it.
