Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This review is my own.

I’ve had to let Loretta Darling sit with me for a day after finishing it to see how I felt. I didn’t want to be rash with my opinions, sadly, 24 hours later, I still feel like I was promised a ritzy Golden Years of Hollywood tale but got a macabre tale.

But I’d rather not settle on the negatives:

Loretta and Sally: gorgeous, love it. Actually made me really heartbroken. 

Loretta and Primrose: love it. Probably the best person in her life.

Enid: gosh.
that was a really great reveal because i didn’t see it coming at all. I probably should have, but I didn’t.


I just felt like the first 2 parts kind of languished about and then we rushed through part three and wrapped it up with the end but there were still questions with no resolution. It was heavily inferred but I guess after spending so long suffering through Raphael (twice) and the other men in the book, we get the good (we hope) one and barely any time with him.
