Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann

5.0

I’m actually hurt. There is no reason to why this book was so GOOD! I cannot explain…but alas I will.

Jennifer: her story breaks my heart because she always had the purist intentions and really only lived for everybody else. She wanted ONE thing and that was to be loved for who she was and not what she had to offer and goddamn if she never got it. Righteously, she took herself out before she could be further let down by actually every man ever.

Neely; you really had me in the first half girl…I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. You love her until you hate her and that is exactly why she will never be happy. The juxtaposition between her and Hellen Lawson, OH GOD! (anyway I hate her forever)

Anne; my dear sweet Anne. The people’s princess. She knew what she wanted in life and didn’t stop until she got it. The only issue is, when she got it, it screwed her best friend and left her to turn to pills (dolls). A self made, well mannered, woman of all women. Helped her friends and the people she cared about with such fervor and yet she was always shafted in the end. (I will love you forever)
