A review by ifyouhappentoremember
Mildred Pierce by James M. Cain
4.0
I was familiar with the 1945 film adaption of this book, and when I saw that my library had an ebook copy, I picked it up, not expecting much. This was much better than I expected a book from the 1940s to be (and far darker than I was expecting too).
The main takeaway from this book is that Veda is an absolutely terrible person. She is a classic textbook nacisist. It is so frustrating to see how she uses and shelves people, especially her mother, and practically gets away with it too. I don't understand why more people don't hate Veda in daily life. She is so easy to hate.
