Taylor Jenkins Reid has definitely found a niche that works perfectly for her style of writing. This felt somewhat familiar because just like Daisy Jones and the Six. We have strong female protagonists that is being interviewed about her past and uses that monologue to leave life lessons for the reader.
Taylor has a way of blurring the line of history and fiction, to where she might almost have you fooled that you are reading a non-fiction.
Some of the themes of this book were personally a little much for me, and I figured out the twist as she was telling it, but I was still throughly entertained.
