I first read this in September 2021 and I rated it 3 stars because I was too focused on why she divorced her husbands and why she chose Monique and I was looking for answers to those questions and the answers weren't really as evocative as I was hoping them to be. The book's best parts on my first read wer where young Evelyn creates these narratives around sticky situations that the press just laps up. On this reread this book fared a bit better because I put emphasis on the relationship between Evelyn and the love of her life and saw its beauty whereas the first time around I couldn't ignore that aspects of that relationship were underdeveloped and hence it didn't have an impact on me.
