Sinners by Jackie Collins
Did not finish book.
I am over halfway but I am forcing myself to read it and so I am going to stop.
I just don't think this book has aged at all well. Maybe back in the 60s and 70s some of the violence and sexual abuse/over sexualisation of women was prevalent and accepted but it is just making my skin crawl. Every woman is described first by the size and shape of her boobs and only after by some other physical feature.
I stuck this long because I really like Sunday and I wanted to know what happens to Charlie but I just cannot get through it. Too much about sex and not enough plot progression.
