I did feel like there was not much depth to Molly's relationships with other women and it did feel quite whimsical at times. However, it did reflect the fact that sexuality is very fluid and we are not 100% anything. I would give the novel a 3.5 stars!

Rubyfruit Jungle was an experimental book for me, as I don't usually read books published pre-2000s. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It was a fun read. That being said there are a few issues such as the pro-incest narrative and the main character saying that butch lesbians weren't valid. When I first read this book I almost...glazed over these things not really processing them. But upon re-read I can't help but be grossed out at them.
Overall a good quick read and a good time as long as you're aware of the issues this book has going into it.
