This book is so well-written!!! Fascinating, messy, a little nutty and a bit sad country girl turned-NYC-socialite-icon, who is still a bit sad. Rapid-fire dialogue that’s so witty, so beautiful, so funny all at once. The descriptions are so vivid, I seriously could’ve underlined a million trillion things.
I think Holiday Golightly is the blueprint for characters like Margo (Paper Towns), Summer (500 Days of Summer), and all the other Manic Pixie Dreamgirls. But out of all of them thus far, Holly G. Is my favorite 💎
“It may be normal, darling; but I’d rather be natural.”
⚠️ This book has offensive racial slurs and lesbophobia! Always disappointing and wrong, even if it is history.

it’s hard to read a story with a fresh perspective when you’ve already seen the movie, but I did my best. it’s a gritty tale about a girl in the city who sparks interest in almost all who meet her. I liked the lack of insight into the narrator’s life, apart from where Holly was concerned. the focus in this story was clearly just on her, specifically where the narrator was concerned. Holly is an interesting character, and I liked seeing her through the eyes of her neighbor, rather than simply hearing about her from an unbiased perspective. I think this story has more depth than it is sometimes is given credit for. My biggest issue i take is with the racial slurs and stereotypes sprinkled throughout. I understand it was a product of its time, but that doesn’t make it right.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the best out of the short story’s in the book. The others were slow paced at best with little to no complication
