Surprising how dislikable a character can be, which I was disappointed by. I can appreciate the story itself, and the way a character is developed enough to promote such a negative reaction, which is what the star rating is given for. The story and succinct telling is captivating, however I cannot move past my innate dislike for Holly Golightly, her strange fascination with masculine gay women, her flagrant disregard for the feelings of the other characters, mocking disloyalty.

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