A review by kstookley
Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block

3.0

It feels like this book was written by an eight year-old in the late 80s with wealthy, open-minded Hollywood parents who would host parties in their house with a bunch of movie industry people and fun gay guys and let her find her own conclusions about how the world operated while not shielding her from sex or AIDS or anything like that. Super simplistically written-- feels more like a fairy tale rather than magical realism, which was my first impression. However, it is charming and parts of the writing do hit.
