Maybe I’m crushing on Hedy Lamar, but this book captivated me. I do wish there was more to her life once she got to Hollywood and beyond, but I also understand the importance of the detailed back story. I’m not usually a big fan of historical fiction, but the format made me devour this one!

Marie Benedict slays again; absolutely love her use of words and the historical fiction she weaves with them -- this one about Hedy Lamar

Good story but did she really learn all of the science just by reading a book?
