Book Review: Valley of the Dolls

Book Review:  Valley of the Dolls

By Jacqueline Susann

I bought this book for my Kindle and loved it. Retro chic lit!

Recalling an old story of Jacqueline Susannn who was an unknown author, had her hubby buying up gobs of her books to make her debut a bestseller, my curiosity wanted to know just how amateur it was. I was very intrigued to find Ms. Susann is a competent author and she wrote compelling characters in larger-than-life roles but in a believable style. Better than the movie. Timeless characters with great arcs.

I've seen parts of the movie on TV over the years. Patty Duke and Martin Milner are the stars that stand out in my memory.

I give this book five out of five stars.
