Did You Hear About Kitty Karr by Crystal Smith Paul
Book & Audiobook Review:
Listening to "Did Hear About Kitty Karr" on Audible was an immersive experience.
The novel delves into the glamorous world of Old Hollywood through the life of Kitty Karr, a dazzling actress whose rise to fame hides a deeper, more dangerous secret. The story is captivating, and the historical segments are rich and engaging, making the dual timeline format more tolerable than usual.
Kitty's hidden life is part of a covert network of women funding civil rights causes, adding a layer of suspense and intrigue that kept me hooked. The tension in these historical segments is palpable, and the audiobook narration brought these high-stakes moments vividly to life.
However, the present-day chapters felt weaker to me. Some elements seemed less essential to the main narrative and, at times, detracted from the overall experience. Still, the novel's exploration of important themes unfolds naturally within the compelling storytelling.
Overall, this audiobook would be a fantastic pick for book clubs, sparking thoughtful discussions and lingering reflections. It’s a book that will stay with me for a long time.
