When I came across the premise of the book, I felt a strong urge to dive into its pages. As I began reading, I noticed a sense of discomfort creeping in. The story was beautifully crafted, and while the flashbacks added depth, they also left me a little confused. It's evident that the author poured a lot of thought and research into developing the characters. I found myself feeling uneasy, particularly because Marilyn's experiences were shared in such an intimate way; it almost felt like we were intruding on her privacy. Despite this, I found the narrative to be captivating and engaging overall. #HerNewEyes #NetGalley

This was certainly an interesting and very creative story. I’ve never read anything like it, the idea of Marilyn Monroe living through someone else’s eyes. As she slowly takes over her counterpart’s body, her visions of a past life become clearer and her dreams turn into vivid memories. This was a very adventurous approach to exploring Monroe’s infamous life in a different way. I enjoyed the story itself, and the bittersweet ending, I almost wish it was longer with a bit more depth.

Some of the flashbacks were a little confusing and overwritten and the science behind it was surface level and almost felt unnecessary, if this book had gone with the whimsy and unbelievable nature that this story demanded. But still, a brave and interesting book.
