Thank you @bookclubgirl and @williammorrow for gifting #ANovelBunchBookstaClub with this months pick. We had a great discussion and I love catching up with these women every month!!

We start the book seeing Hattie McDaniel win an Oscar in 1940 - the first black actor to ever win. And from there, we see the struggles and the triumphs she goes through within her life. Hattie is one against many with the world against her it is her time to make people notice her and her accolades.

I thought this book gave a very accurate depiction of both life in America in the 1940s-50s, Classic Hollywood, and the life of Hattie McDaniel. However, it felt almost too stilted and as though I was reading a biography - which is fine just not the book I thought I was going to read. Overall, we appreciated the historical accuracy but it wasn’t a fave for us.
