I found this book really hard to stomach in parts, in fact in the first few chapters I physically flinched whilst reading this book.

Sexism is no joke, and the '50s & '60s were brutal for woman, no wonder they were all dosing themselves with amphetamines and valium. 

I found parts of this book to be funny, in fact I laughed out loud several times, but also there were moments of deep, darkness and the levity was few and far between. 

I picked this up thinking it would be a fluffy easy read it wasn't that for me but I also think it was worth reading. 

Just brace yourself.
