Hollywoodland

"Stars Over Sunset Boulevard" by Susan Meissner is a must read.  I love her books.  I love how she incorporates the past with the present; how the past effects the future and everything matters somewhere to someone.  In "Stars," a 2012 woman who runs a vintage store comes across a hat that was not supposed to be donated.  And when she looked at the label in that hat, I knew this was going to be a good book.  And it is. 
Violet and Audrey are two single gals living in Hollywood during the late 1930's and as luck would have it, they are working as secretaries during the making of "Gone With the Wind".  The novel follows the girls through their lives following the sharp turn of events after they came into possession of the hat, later found at the vintage store.  The novel goes back and forth between the two time periods.  I love this book and you simply must read it.  I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review via Twitter.
