A Beautiful Rival

 

My Rating: 4.8

Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein and their infamous rivalry that spanned not only decades, but also broken marriages, personal tragedies, and a world that was changing dramatically for women

I really enjoyed this historical fiction and learning more about both Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein - individually as well as their rivalry. They both were amazing women who had incredible lives. Their rivalry was interesting but, it was sad how rather than simply having a good competition it showed their insecurity (especially Elizabeth Arden). A very enjoyable read that I would recommend.
