A Lady's Guide to Selling Out

Sally Franson

DID NOT FINISH

You know, maybe it's because we're in the midst of a pandemic, and our culture is on the verge of either fully collapsing or evolving magnificently to survive, but I just couldn't justify spending anymore time with this book after the line "put the man in manicure".
Good god, I am so tired of oh-so-clever-and-witty books by people who probably haven't even made it through an episode of SNL in the past ten years.

Really loved this book, but I think it could have been at least 50 pages shorter. A lot of time spent on descriptions and atmosphere that muddled the plot and slowed the action down. Not exactly plodding but by the last fifty pages I was ready for it to be over.
