Eve In Hollywood by Amor Towles

A bright, resourceful young woman arrives in 1920s Hollywood and rises from humble beginnings to become a celebrated film star, navigating the glitter and ruthlessness of the studio system, shifting tastes from silents to talkies, and complicated romances and friendships. As fame brings both opportunity and compromise, she must reckon with who she is beneath the public persona and make difficult choices about loyalty, ambition, and reinvention. The story blends glamour and moral nuance to chart one woman's search for identity and agency in an industry built on illusion.
