I enjoyed this book, but mostly the flashback scenes. This book takes place in the 50s and 60s so it's interesting how Sasha's choices then would be completely normal now.

“My life looked like a repeating decimal.” Read in quick succession after the trash masterpiece Valley of the Dolls. A perfect pair, parallel and divergent at once: women living during the so called turning point, obsessed with skin and hair and beauty and an abstract notion of independence, a blurred image of freedom that is always elusive. While we have developed new ways of talking about these things, this only buries the trickery deeper, heightens the illusion of progress.

Loved this book so much. Incredible insight into Sasha’s world; where certain societal expectations had originated and of how some are still recognizable within our society today.
