You know when someone says "I couldn't put this book down"? Well, I could not put this book down. The book travels between modern day Los Angeles, the indie film industry, and the authors experiences, and the LA of the early 20th century and the experiences of Millicent Patrick. This back and forth of the narrative helps ground the stories of the past with the current day issues in entertainment and culture, especially around women's experiences and stories. And it brings the reader along for the ride without getting bogged down in the present or the past. Well worth the read, especially if you like monsters. :)
