Sally Jay Gorce is quite a bouncy woman. She is ravenous for life throughout the book, which makes her story a tale of beauty and unpleasantness. “The Dud Avocado” is the perfect read for anyone interested in a young woman moving to Paris with nothing but a dream filled with Parisian cliches that will eventually be broken down into pieces, and a heroine who’s virtues and vices perfectly coagulate to make a complex and wildly entertaining character.
Surprisingly delightful! Sally Jay is quite the character. I’d read this again sometime.

Was in a very small minority at book club who really liked this book. Was a fun "romp" (the only appropriate word). Made me want to go out, make bad choices, not care, and have fun.
