3.5

Captivating and light writing style. I was drawn in and found the story juicy. I definitely want to read more Eve Babitz. However, the strong title, Sex and Rage, was not befitting this novel. I, as many others, did not come across much of either. I was a tad confused near the end about what the mood was during a crucial plot point. Therefore, I found the novel to lack a strong ending.

Literally the perfect book
