Playful, gossipy, charming. I wrote this on page 7, but it sums this up nicely.

“I wonder if I'll ever be able to have what I like or if my tastes are too various to be sustained by one of anything”

Eve Babitz gives us snapshots of her fun, ever moving, glamorous L.A. life through an intellectual, literary lens. Pieces of it felt a little tooo intensely American for me to completely resonate with, but I suppose that's to be expected. Overall, I had a lovely time.
