Did you try to read Evelyn Hugo and find it as disappointing as I did? Do you want a book about a queer woman of color trying to make it as a star in the golden age of Hollywood, but that was actually good?
Read Siren Queen by Nghi Vo.
Follow Luli Wei as she scrapes and sacrifices and claws her way to stardom, explores her queerness, actually tackles her race and how it impacts her career, and flirts with magic and fantasy along the way. Gorgeous prose, incredible world building, and such respect for the character and her identity. An absolute 5 star book, give it a try!
