Complicated
I struggled with this in the beginning because it starts out quite slow, and it took me a bit to get into the characters. But I feel like the book picks up about 40% of the way through, because that's when the plot mentioned in the summary really gets going.
The switching between the timelines really helps to show the history of Black hollywood, throughout different generations. There are complex relationships shown throughout, and also the idea of trust when you're famous is a strong theme. It's an overall interesting read, and the narrator did a great job for the audiobook!
