Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Alcoholism, Child abuse, Cultural appropriation, Homophobia, Racial slurs, Toxic friendship, Toxic relationship, War, Lesbophobia, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Suicidal thoughts, and Drug use

Of its time, outdated, wouldn't read again, homophobic and racial slurs aplenty. Extra stories were very strange. I liked the idea that a stranger can become any type of person that you need them to become

For some reason, I decided to read another of Capote's works.

I like how free-spirited Holly is. But overall I don't really care for the characters.

The writer „Fred“ is in love with Holly and gives us insight into Holly's crazy life.

Page 20, at least a little bit.
 

Lidi si samozřejmě mysleli, že jistě jsem taky teplá. A to se ví, že jsem. Jako každý: aspoň trochu. No, a co?

 

I liked the end because it was realistic and made the whole book make more sense.

I could get around without reading this book but it wasn't horrible.
