I found myself annoyed when I realized the book was a setup for a retelling of The Philadelphia Story in the last 50 pages. Helen Hope Montgomery Scott was Philip Barry’s inspiration for the character of Tracy Lord, but that wasn’t her story. Virtually all historical details have been changed save the name. This one was a disappointment.
