This book was really good. I enjoyed getting to read what Eve babitz wrote. Her style is so interesting and fun to read I loved it. I don't know if I'll read more but I'm glad I read this by her. The stories she had of all the people she met and everyone she knew was so good from stories like emerald bay and the one with terry. Idk I just really liked it

I was captivated by the stories at the beginning of this collection, but began to lose steam with the longer (and more depressing) vignettes at the end.
