I’m not sure why this book exists. I really like Eve Babitz, Joan Didion and Lili Anolik but this book didn’t reveal anything to me that Hollywood’s Eve didn’t either.

This book was great. I love the works of Didion and Babitz but I know little about them as people. Reading this book and learning about them and their relationship with one another was great. It was a fun read especially for those who love these two talented women

This was such a great read. I love learning about female writers, and Lili Anolik does such a great job exploring the relationship between two of my favorites. I love Anolik’s narrative voice in this as well, it is refreshing and unpretentious, and makes this fun and easy to read.

So well written I was fascinated by the friendship the interaction betweeen Didion& Babitz.I have read little about Didion's personal life her marriage so this was very revealing.There are so many names of people who are now iconic who were young and just starting out such as Spielberg & Warren Beatty a whose who of Hollywood at the time.A delicious eye opening look at the real the personal Didion&Babitz.#netgalley #scribner.

A very solid read! The way it’s written makes it easy and quick. The introduction is well written however as it continues, the author breaks the fourth wall a lot. I found myself more drawn to the Babitz and Didion excerpts that are included more than the author’s original piece. Because of that I knocked it down a star but I still would really recommend this.
