Los Feliz Confidential chronicles Novak's life from immigration to poignant childhood and teen years through her adventurous, sexy, freewheeling twenties. Follow her escapades through the glittering decadent '70s as she encompasses the unique culture of the era with a seductive sense of sophistication. A rock'n'roll, art loving glamour girl, Novak will have you devouring her wry tales and asking for more. – Amazon.com
If you’ve been a teen or are a teen currently, then you’ve probably thought to yourself at one point or another “my parents just DON’T get it!” Well then you need to read this book. Set in the 70s and scrolling through the 50s, 60s, and beyond, this book is a sweet tale about growing up, experimentation, and finding oneself in this crazy world. I thought the book had amazing character and plot development and that the book was very well written and easy to read. This book was also very fast paced, which would be perfect for a short trip!
However, I did think that the fast paced quality of the book would be off-putting to some readers and the main character is very off-putting in the beginning of the book. This book was also something I wouldn’t normally read, but I do have to admit that it was very enjoyable!
Verdict: Overall, while this book wasn’t something I would normally pick up, I felt that the book would not only be great for short trips, but for teens to read as well. It shows that maybe you and your parents aren’t so different after all and one can draw inspiration from the author’s story as a metaphor for finding oneself. Whatever the reason you need, this is one book you’ll want to read over and over again.
