Historical narrative from MM‘s POV. It‘s unique and I learned a lot about where and who Norma Jean came from…

This novel in verse goes through Marilyn‘s entire life, starting from when she was a kid to a few weeks before her death. All aspects of her life are explored, painting a stunning portrait of this complicated woman.

As for the poems themselves, some of them were amazing but some fell a little flat. A novel in verse is harder to write, so that is forgivable.
