Sex and Rage by Eve Babitz
3.0

this book rules because it's about this perfect girl who is extremely beautiful and interesting and smart and hot and universally adored and it's also autobiographical.

goals, really.

this is actually not eve's finest - normally she's funny enough that you can forgive her for knowing how charming and beautiful she is, but the balance is off here - and the writing feels weaker than her usual.

but you've got to hand it to her on the pride front. and the title.

bottom line: even the worst eve is still not that bad. but it's not that good either.
