3.5

This style of writing is particularly hard for me to read because it's just vibes, but it's vibes that unsettle me with their realism. There were four separate works in this volume, and each one was more plotless than the last.

I enjoyed the book for the aesthetic of 40s glamour and seeing the similarities and differences between the book and the movie. 
But found it hard to read as a whole due to the dated language and attitudes regarding other characters in the book.

I gave this a 4 when I read it in 2013 but I must’ve been high, or else I read a very different edition.
