Thank you so much to @randomthingstours @avonbooksuk and @gill.paul1 for a copy of this wonderful book 🤩

I loved everything about Scandalous Women - it was so clever the way history intertwined with fiction and made for such a fabulous story so much so that I wish it were all true!

It’s hard to forget the struggle that women had in all areas of life and this book highlights perfectly the sexism, misogyny and downright maleness of the publishing industry and no doubt other industries during this period. These women had to fight hard for everything they wanted and so rightly deserved. 

I loved all of the characters and the story and throughout the book I kept googling people, books, stories etc - I love it when a book gets me that involved and draws me in. I’ve just reserved Valley of the Dolls from the library too. 

I would highly recommend this book to everyone, it is so much fun!
