Hired to work on a biography of the late film star, Daphne DeMonet, Bailey Hampton arrives to conduct an interview with Eleanor Burnett, Daphne's "longtime companion." To Bailey's dismay, she learns Eleanor has set up a co-interview with Bailey's ex-partner, Chelsea Parker. Estranged for eleven months, the two women hide their painful memories and strain to be civil to one another. Eleanor startles them by insisting that they take turns reading aloud from Eleanor's diaries of her life with show more Daphne DeMonet. Only after the diaries are read in her presence will Eleanor proceed with a full interview. Once Eleanor discovers that Bailey and Chelsea are ex-partners, the diary readings take on a new meaning for her. Can they learn from the mistakes she and Daphne made as young lovers? Will that knowledge bring Bailey and Chelsea together again? Or is it too late to mend their broken relationship? show lessTags

I liked this book and, yes, I cried twice. If Goodreads offered 1/2 stars, I would have gone 3.5.
I enjoyed the dual stories but wish there would have been more of both of them. I know, that's probably too much to ask for but I felt like we only got to skim the surface of both couples.
I still recommend the book to romance readers. It's a good one!

This book is all sorts of wonderful and demands repeated readings.
