Sex, Drugs and Hollywood debauchery - with three woman's struggles for Hollywood fame.
review:
The original trashy chick lit read (at least I am pretty sure it is... at least of the modern era). Written in a perfectly horrid fashion with very little skill this is a hilarious romp through 1960's sexual liberation. I don't think it was meant to be hilarious but reading it today it really is, I am under the impression it was meant to be a cautionary tale. It is apparently based loosely on the real life's of various Hollywood starlets (Ethel Merman, Judy Garland, Betty Hutton, Frances Farmer, and Marilyn Monroe). A very interesting read which I recommend to anyone who is curious about the 1960's.
7/10
"Never judge anyone by another's opinions. We all have different sides that we show to different people."
"A man must feel he runs things, but as long as you control yourself, you control him."
If you enjoyed this I recommend:
The Gidget Series - Frederik Kohner
Shopaholic Series - Sophie Kinsella
Biographies of old actresses, such as those listed above
