I was sent a review copy by the publicist for the author.
Through a couple different sources I knew a little bit about the rivalry between Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein and I have to say that my favourite in the rivalry was Rubinstein. Beyond the rivalry the story also focuses on the story of Max Factor and Madam Walker. The story hooked me and I found it difficult to put the book down.
There were two points, fairly small, that bugged me. The first was the way that Josephine Hertz didn't always talk with the heavy use of V sounds for her Ws. It's a small detail, however I noticed it. The other issue I had was with the sex scenes with Constance Gardiner. They didn't seem natural or real. They felt more like odd setups.
If you're looking for a novel containing strong women I highly recommend this book
