Oh my…I loved this one! Definite Daisy Jones vibes, and it starts off slow, but the interview-designed narration, and the revelations made, are just powerful. It‘s an amazing work on the disparities between male and female artists, and White and Black artists. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

I loved this, my #titlesandtunes pick for #sexdrugsandrocknroll. It certainly wasn‘t on the seedy side, despite Esme living in squats in the 70s and designing see-through outfits; it just seems as though she has enjoyed every minute of a fabulous life, and is still doing so!

This also works for a couple of other challenges too:

I thought I‘d like this more than I did. Interesting premise and well written. However, I found myself more interested in trying to figure out why the iconic Evelyn Hugo specifically chose the relatively unknown Monique Grant to write her story. (Which I did figure out before the reveal). I still recommend it, but I enjoyed Carrie Soto is back much more. Looking forward to trying another from this author. #authoramonth

LeeRHarry My hands down fave so far is Malibu Rising 😊 I did enjoy this one too. (edited) 2y

I wasn‘t expecting to read this straight through but that‘s exactly what I did. What a delight! So many lovely characters & some true villains & in the end they all got what they deserved - so satisfying. I loved the family dynamics, the behind the scenes at the fashion house & the clothes, of course. I was fascinated by the undergarments - what do you think a “backless brassiere” is?

JamieArc I‘m quite in love with this cover 😍 2y
Jess_Read_This Lovely review! I had a similar reading experience in being surprised at reading it all the way through! I wondered at the brassiere too. I really enjoyed the love Annabel‘s family shared for each other, especially during the trying times they had. 2y

LeahBergen Right through? I‘m excited now and that‘s probably what I‘ll do, too! 😆 2y
Deblovestoread Sounds lovely! 2y
Aimeesue I am, um, accidentally shoehorning in, and am currently reading this, and @CarolynM is 100% correct - it is an absolute delight and I have tossed everything else aside to finish it. Fabulous! (edited) 2y
quietjenn Great thoughts! Based on the comments by you and @Jess_Read_This, I must make sure I have an unbroken chunk of time before me when I read this (and definitely don‘t start it right before bed)! (edited) 2y
LaraReads Well doesn‘t this look like fun! 😄 2y
Librarybelle This looks delightful! 2y
batsy I've just started, and I agree—I want to read it straight through! Lovely review 💜 2y
Ruthiella I started it yesterday and understand the impulse! Like @quietjenn said, I need to tackle it when I have some free time ahead of me. Unfortunately, this won‘t be till Friday. 😭 2y
erzascarletbookgasm I am looking forward to this, after two reviews finding it so delightful! 😍 But straight through? I can never do that, find the time..so many life distractions unfortunately 2y
