And that’s only the beginning. Her cosmic do-over also manages to scramble eighty years of world history.

Racing against time, the movie-loving academic and the high-strung diva form an uneasy alliance to unravel the mystery before the next day’s induction ceremony.
While they spend a stressful but enlightening day trying to restore order, the Producer takes Bette on a bumpy multi-media ride of her own. As she sees favorite film roles elude her and her onetime husband marry another, she mourns all she has sacrificed by starring in Gone with the Wind and fears her derailed history can’t be fixed.

It’s well known that Bette Davis wanted to play Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind, this book delves into what would ​have ​happen​ed​ if Bette had gotten the part and how it would affect the here and now.

I enjoyed this book. The main characters ​(​three women) were at times happy, woeful and funny. Bette is looking down from the afterlife while Dana is the drive behind the new museum gifted by Bette to her home town in Massachusetts. The celebrity to open this museum is Patrice Clarke, a ​star who is pumped up by her own ​self importan​ce​.

The fun comes from Bette being given the part by the Producer in the afterlife and it affects ​history ​more than just the film. Everything changes to the point where even Bette decides enough is enough.

Well written and I have to compliment the author on the research into the stars and history of film. It must have taken her months to get all the information together. Well done!

This doesn’t mean the book is a catalogue of what happened in the past against what happens now, the story flows perfectly and the finale is not a bald statement of fact, more a gentle ​finish to a well written book.
