I loved the drama
I was carrying Valley Of The Dolls with me for a few days and read it in every free minute I got. I understand the negative reviews, I truly get them. I wish I could be as elitist and sophisticated to actually dislike this book for what it is: a piece of barely average written literature of horrible women hating on themselves, each other and everyone else. Female monsters who are only valued for their looks, who think they have nothing to offer. Yes, this novel is misogyn, if you want it to be. But it's also empowering, if you want it to be. Don't let me be misunderstood. Our three protagonist are no role models. They are in fact, dislikable and highly self-destructible. Their flawed and doomed characters demonize the beauty of womanhood, but that's the crucial element. Valley of the Dolls is not about three starlets rising to fame and burning up at the firmament through time. It's about toxic femininity. Listen, some of you are not ready to experience the female abyss of modern society and that's perfectly understandable. It's a dark place (but oh, so entertaining). I guess Jacqueline Susann wrote for hot girls and for hot girls only. If you're neither hot nor slightly psychotic, go and just look for something else to read while I'm still here defending this book with my entire being because for me it was a page turner (also I'm a little bit in love with Jennifer North, Henry Bellamy and Lyon Burke)
