(No, the image did not load sideways. This is exactly what the cover looks like.)
Let me just say, when you turn the last page of the book...then take a moment to fully accept that it is in fact the last page and it is REALLY ending like that... and STILL want to throat-punch one of the characters... THAT'S A GOOD BOOK!!! 

Let me also say, as usual, the book is better than the movie. Don't get me wrong. I loved the movie. I adore Joan Crawford in all of her diva-ness. But the movie is only about 50% like the book. And the book is 100% incredible!! 

No spoilers. Read the book. Do not expect the same plot as the movie. 
And when you too turn that last page and realize EVERYTHING that happened... have a fluffy pillow near by because punching anything else might hurt. And you're going to want to punch something. Trust me.

    Read any good books lately?

    I read more than just classic novels. This is where I post about recent books I have read. Have you read the same book? Got a different opinion? Let me know! I'd love to hear about it.
