I was lukewarm on the first half of the book (it’s a bit scattered), but I got everything I love about Babitz in the second half.

Rambly and unfocused but funny, witty and clever.

3,5/ Eve Babitz, the original nepo baby. The sheer amount of priviledge and audacity just awes me every time. How was she such a talented writer and write such wonderful prose?
