About 2 journalists vying to take the coveted spot of writing a biography for Margaret Ives, a super rich lady who was married to a famous singer but then disappeared for 20 years.
The book starts off slow, as Margaret wastes time diving into the backstory of her parents and grandparents to delay having to talk about herself. Once she gets to her own life story it gets really good, and sort of reminds me of the sort of family drama you'd see in a Taylor Jenkins Reed novel, though not quite as good since it's being narrated by Margaret rather than being directly in it.
And of course, it's an Emily Henry novel so throw in a serving of romance. It's decently ok, nothing mind-blowing, to be honest I felt like I'd rather hear the story of Margaret Ives more than anything!
