Conflicted is how I feel about this book. I enjoyed reading about Dorothy Parker; I had a hard time with the other writers. Perhaps it is because the author went to the pettiness and the criticism of each of the females authors had with each other. She threw in a good measure included the criticism of the women by men who were also critics as well. I guess a book about women writers who were critics would be full of criticisms, but it felt like just a diatribe of complaining that had a textbook feel. The book could have been edited down and would have felt less bogged down. It felt like a textbook, but a textbook that a professor would only make you read a section or selected pages.

I received and D/ARC from Netgalley and Gove Press for an honest review.
