Every Night Josephine is the memoirs of socialite Jacueline Susann (Valley of the Dolls) as she recalls her life with her beloved pet poodle Josephine and the ups and downs of having a poodle as your only child while living in a lavish apartment in Manhattan during the late 60's.

I read this book in '98 when I came across it on a relatives bookcase. Having read every other book she owned, I wasn't expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the humor, and lightheartedness of this standalone.

If you have the opportunity to read it, I suggest you do -- when you need to read light and fluffy either when you can't decide on something else, or if you want to banish the feelings leftover from a dark or emotionally trying book.

Every Night Josephine is the literary equivalent of peach sorbet as a palate cleanser. It is available in paperback on Amazon, however you might be able to locate an e-book version if you hunt around.

I read this when I was a kid and loved it. I remember my parents (who were never the type to prevent me from reading adult books) asking me what it was about with slightly worried expressions on their faces--I realize now that it was because they associated Jacqueline Susann with The Valley of the Dolls, not exactly appropriate for children! But they relaxed after I told them it was the story of an elegant lady and her very nice poodle.
