Eve's Hollywood

One sentence synopsis... A love letter to Los Angeles conveyed through several snapshots of different characters and areas of the city.

Read it if you like... trying to decipher which celebrities are loosely disguised in these semi-autobiographical stories.

Further reading... no longer in LA so need Paris book recs next to stick with the read-where-you-are theme. I still plan on finished Babitz's books, however I've been warned these last two were the best. If you've read them let me know!

The author likes to name drop, but all the people she mentions stopped being famous 50 years ago so it's worthless. I mean, who the fuck is Stravinsky?

The author also says many times throughout the book that she looks like Brigitte Bardot, but I looked up pictures of her from her prime years and she looks as much like Bardot as I do. Perhaps she is not referencing beauty but big tits, which she does indeed have, but big tits does not a Brigitte Bardot-look-alike make, darling!

4 stars for the chapters about being a teenager, Le Conte and Hollywood High, bunny shoes and stacked hair and dancing the Choke.

1 star for everything else, it was super boring. I'll be very kind and round up to 3 stars but maybe I'll change it later.
