Like reality tv in book form. It’s not a piece of outstanding writing or anything, but with all the stereotypical scandalous Hollywood tropes it’s a fun read. Heavy on the offensive content that makes it clear it’s from the 60s, though at some point you just accept everyone and everything being awful and ride it out.

Este libro me sacudió. Aunque las protagonistas no eran perfectas ni siempre tomaban buenas decisiones, empaticé mucho con ellas y cada vez que sufrían se me partía el corazón. Después de leer esto, definitivamente cambio mi forma de ver a las modelos hegemónicas. Mi conclusión final es que todos los hombres son una bosta.
