Incredible story, plot, all of it. Very unexpected and not predictable, just when you think it stops there, it doesn’t. The main characters Evelyn and Monique sit in an interview each day to document Evelyn’s story—hardships and fame. Unexpectedly, Monique seems to learn from Evelyn and grows as a human, combating unpleasant memories of her ex-husband while working for an ever-growing news reporting company. What seems so simple as a one-on-one conversation erupts to be larger than you’d expect, with mixed confusions and changing sides every other chapter.

My rating for this book is a 3 because the book is bland in my opinion and does no thave intensive detail. This book failed to get my interest and I believe the main reason was not enough detail. I also believe it was too short according to what the plot was. It is also boring and repetitive at a certain point.
