This was my first book by Ava Dellaria and I actually quite enjoyed it, when I went into it I wasn't sure what to expect but I really liked it, the writing was really good, I found I struggled to put it down at times because it just flowed so well. My favourite thing about this whole book that it was set in two different times, one chapter would be about Marilyn as a teenager falling in love with James and the other chapter would follow Angie, Marilyn's daughter searching for her uncle trying to get information about her dad, it was really interesting - although Marilyn's chapters were my favourite to read by the end I loved Angies!!
Angie wasn't my favourite character, I didn't really like how she treated Sam especially since he was obviously still in love with her and was willing to let her come to LA with him, he was super sweet. Then there was the lack of connection with Marilyn and Angie, I guess it's because they don't really interact much until the very end but I dunno, it was just weird, I also found it strange that Marilyn would keep such a big secret from her daughter for all those years.
Overall, this was an enjoyable, quick read and although I had some reservations I still highly recommend this book! :)
