This story felt like an inside look into two women who were both masters of their crafts. I felt like both of these characters were done so well that I if I didn't know better that these women really did sit down with the authors and give them their stories. I think that this was a great book for anyone who is looking for a book about female friendships and also who love Marylin and Ella as people. I think that this was such a tasteful and honoring story of these two women's lives and their friendship.
