I get to read for work?! How did I get so lucky? This is the latest historical fiction we‘re reading for my museum‘s book club. It tells a fictionalized version of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle‘s life, and the infamous death of Virginia Rappe and how it contributed to significant change in Hollywood. Although I have some qualms about accuracy, it‘s overall entertaining, if kind of depressing. #historicalfiction #tbr
