A Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin
3.0
I read a condensed version from the Reader's Digest. For this reason, my review must be taken with a grain of salt.
*Spoilers kind of?*
I absolutely loved that this book included themes surrounding abortion way back when it was written almost 50 years ago. It's relevant to our times, and can be seen as a cautionary tale for why abortion should be kept legal and medically accessible. If Dorothy could've gotten an abortion like she tried at first, then this whole mess could've been avoided.
I did really enjoy the first part of the novel that focused on Dorothy. The rest of the novel was okay. I am excited to watch the two versions of the movie though!
