ReviewsA perfect read for fans of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Lessons in Chemistry . I was completely transported to the glitz and glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Melissa O'Connor is a rising star and I am a fan for life!, Gorgeously written, and with the kind of pacing that makes reading it as easy as breathing, this took me on an emotional journey that echoed for weeks afterward. I inhaled it in less than a day and can't wait to see what Melissa O'Connor does next., I invite any reader to step inside the world of THE ONE AND ONLY VIVIAN STONE, but be warned: you'll have a hard time stepping back out. O'Connor's epic and gripping debut puts us at the center of the ripped-from-the-1950s-headlines life of Vivian Stone, from her origins as a struggling actress facing impossible choices to her coronation as America's Sweetheart. This book has everything I could want in a sweeping novel--drama, friendship, love, humor, and a deep dedication to telling stories that show full, complex people pursuing their dreams with their hearts wide open. I loved this book!, Captivating and enthralling, O'Connor charms in this sparkling debut. With all the humor of I Love Lucy combined with the dark side of Old Hollywood, THE ONE AND ONLY VIVIAN STONE is an absolute gem.

SynopsisThe Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo meets The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in this enchanting novel about estranged lovers reconnecting over mysterious tapes found in an attic and the old Hollywood secret hidden within them. After her grandmother's death, thirty-something Margot DuBois prepares to sell the house quickly so she can go back to her predictable life in Santa Barbara. There, no one knows she used to write and how not succeeding wrecked her confidence. While cleaning out the attic, she comes across eight unlabeled cassette tapes. Unable to use the damaged tape player, she calls in a favor from Leo--her first love and first epic heartbreak--and they strike a deal: he'll fix the player if he can hear what's on the tapes. When they manage to listen, the two are shocked to hear the voice of comedic legend Vivian Stone. Why did she record these tapes and how did Margot's grandmother get them? Between listening to Vivian recount everything from her forbidden love for Hollywood's leading actor, to working under a misogynistic exec, to her chemistry with her costar-turned-husband on TV, Margot and Leo fall down a memory lane of their own. Margot is inspired by Vivian's tenacity and courage to keep fighting for the life she wants, but everything changes when Vivian reveals a secret tied to her past in this moving exploration of how it's never too late to start over.
