I just enjoy the way Eve Babitz writes very much, I love the subject matter and how she’s not trying to do anything crazy or pretentious but simply writes what she likes and knows, for people who are likeminded. I find it funny how all of her female characters are the most beautiful women you’ve ever met and if it was a male writer it would be weird but I just believe that as a woman, she does think that every woman has something truly beautiful and unique about them which I enjoyed. The last chapter was lovely. I like beautiful things and so does Eve Babitz, I like being unserious but sometimes serious but at the end of the day unserious about being serious.
