I went back and forth on whether this was a "3" or "4." In considering, I respected the authors' choice to write Highsmith as the unlikable and selfish person that she seemed to be. It's a quick read (20 mins, max.) but it packs a lot into that small space. It's one I'll likely read again.

A short, compelling story about an iconic lesbian writer and the life she led.
