I really enjoyed this book. I never knew anything about Vivian Vance before. I was surprised at the life she led!

I would have thought she was just like Ethel Mertz in real life, but instead she was almost the exact opposite.

I was facinated by the relationship with Lucille Ball in particular - a little love/hate, but definitely a long-term friendship.
