The Last Book Party by Karen Dukess

3.0

Quick little romp of a book. What it is about the May/December coming of age story that is so irresistible? This book brought me back to Staying Up Late with Hugo Best, another story of the young female aspiring ____ who is smitten by the older and successful male ____. The older male mentor is flattered by the young woman’s admiration and uses it to bolster his flagging virility.

Unfortunately, we young women are not as important as we think to the older men who seduce us. This is a harsh lesson to learn, and possibly such a widespread lesson that authors like Erin Somers and Karen Dukess find a healthy audience for their warnings.
