Official Review: My Friend Marilyn by Christopher Lentz

[Kaitlyn Canedy]

Thank you for the insight into this book. A fictional book about Marilyn Monroe sounds interesting and fun, given how she was. The plot does not interest me that much so I will skip this one, but congrats to the author on BOTD!

This sounds really fascinating and something that ardent fans of historical fiction could enjoy reading. Thanks for the informative review.

[Cynthia Olyy]

I appreciate the fact that it is professionally edited. I'll check it out. Congrats on BOTD!

I do not find historical fiction intriguing, but this seems like it'll be worth the read.

Trudy's house did some good to Penny; she got the invitation to work for Marilyn after moving to Trudy's place.

I was wondering if this was a life story about Marilyn Monroe. It turns out to be historical fiction and about a girl who gets the opportunity to work for her instead. Great thinking!

Your review has got me interested to read the book myself. I love reading historical fictions especially when the plot and the characters are so well drawn. Excited to read this one!!

The fact that Marilyn Monroe takes a backseat in the story makes the premise of this book fresh and interesting. I feel like this is an underdog story which will definitely connect with majority of the readers. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds interesting enough, but I can not see myself reading it. Because I'm not much of a Marilyn Monroe fan. But, do love mystery and romance. Thank you for the review!

Wow! This book sounds unique both in its premise and its characterisation. It's like a conflict between the masked us and the real us. The paranormal aspect you mentioned took me by surprise, however, I would have to find out how that turns out by myself. Thanks for this amazing review!

What an I spiring story. It is a silent fact that each of us are somehow strengthened by our fellow humans. Their triumphs, challenges, grace, and resolve. Congrats to the author

Thank you for sharing your review with us. Although I am a fan of Marylin Monroe, I would rather read non-fiction about her, so I think I would give this one a pass.

I enjoyed the free sample because it gave Marilyn Monroe more character than most writers that have portrayed her as a blond bimbo. She was much more than a sexy lady that enticed a president and his brother. It was an interesting excerpt of her life even though it was historical fiction. The official review was good and I agree with the 4 out of 4 star review.

A lovely story. A must-read story. At first, I thought Stan Drake is the friend of Marilyn Monroe whom this book is titled, but it was Penny Parker. Penny's life changed when she became assistant of Marilyn.

I neither get a sense from this review of the connection to nor the absence of it from Marilyn Monroe. That leaves me to conclude that it is primarily a fiction.
