City of Girls
by Elizabeth Gilbert
City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
Rating: 4.5/5⭐️
Thoughts:
- The main character already doesn’t seem like a very driven person (not attending class or studying) so not very relatable
- The fact that she was basically the last in her class bc the other girl contracted polio?! Baddd
- I love aunt peg
- Renting out the theater for dry swimming I’m dead lmao
- I kinda feel bad for olive she is trying to be the glue of the theater
- I hate how they pressured her to loose her virginity and she did it just to fit in with the show girls and be “cool”
- She’s a slutttt ngl like does that really bring you happiness or is it a distraction?
- I loveeee edna
- Not Billy coming home and wanting to ravage his niece 🤢
- Billy trying to get aunt peg drunk every night idk how they hang like that I’d be dead
- oh my god peg is an alcoholic 🥺 this is so saddd why would bully do this?
- Anthonyyyy I have been waiting for her to fall inlove
- If peg and olive are lesbians I loveee that
- I’m so glad they made back all the money they invested
- Walter is so sweet and such a good protective big brother
- Olive is the unsung hero underdog of this book
- I’m sooo happy Walter didn’t publish her name and put her face in shadows what a true king
- After the scandal vivi should’ve just packed up and went home. That would’ve been the nice mature thing to do after making a mistake like that lol
- Oh my gooood edna telling viv that she is uninteresting and insignificant 😭 I would’ve kms SKKSKS but viv needed to hear that
- I liked jim I know he’s boring but she deserves a nice guy for a change
- Not her brother dyinggg that’s so sad
- She’s sooo promiscuous. I just I can’t imagine being so free with my body like she is, giving it out to whomever for her own pleasure. Sex is a lot more important and an intimate experience for me. Its weight is a lot heavier and I think I respect my body too much to give it to anyone.
- I love imagining all the old women unmarried and just vibing and truly happy and fulfilled
- Marjorie should’ve given up the baby lol
- Peg saying that she was disappointed in viv hurt me
- Franks apology story is making me tear up omg
- They fell In love I cryyy 😭
- He was married NAUR
- I need fank and viv to at LEAST kiss
- “Not everyone is meant to charge thought the world, carrying a spear.” I love that not all people need to be charging through life with direction. Cocooning can be good.
- One drawback is it felt like two books combined the first act and second before and after the war.
