A review by swirls
The Adventures of Sally by P.G. Wodehouse

3.0

It's early Wodehouse, not quite the nonstop comedy of his later books. It's still a screwball comedy, but it has SAD moments (how dare) and is one of the few Wodehouse novels where reality occasionally rears its ugly head. There's heartbreak and loss, and while he doesn't go so far as to let any character actually die, the Spanish flu is raging in the background and actually affecting the lives of the characters.

I didn't hate it, but I started devouring Wodehouse for comfort in 2020 and prefer them to be a bit more "everything is beautiful and nothing hurts" all the time. But he was just getting started here!
