Hey #sundaybuddyread gang! I‘m reading Taste by Stanley Tucci and he used a Dorothy Parker quote! @TheBookHippie

I personally know too much of Dorothy to not see the timeline changes, people left out of the story, I‘m not sure this is her- rolling with it. And I‘m enjoying it. I cannot imagine being a woman in the 1920s and I hope we don‘t go all the way back there.
Happy Sunday All!
*If this day is awful for you I‘m sending so much love and a big hug. If you love this day I hope you enjoy it. If it‘s complicated I get it (I hate it.)

Christmas
Peggy takes Dottie home.
Oy the phone call
Peggy is very kind about being a fool in love…
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Winifred
I rather like her
She takes good care of Dottie too
I love her street smarts
But the gangster… yikes
I hope we get more of her story…
Although IRL I‘ve not found much on her.
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Jane interviewing the mob
I love it
She‘s very brave
And her case MYSTERIOUSLY disappears…
Not sure what to think of her marriage.
But I like her attitude. 🙃
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Alec
I assumed he hated women
So he apparently wanted Jane
And now wants Neysa
I don‘t see it
I do think he‘s evil.
I would not let him live in my house.
Yikes.
And telling Dotties business at Christmas in a crowd.
He‘s just mean.
I would kick him out so fast.
He makes me uncomfortable
Then he irritates Jane talking about her marriage
Trying to start trouble
Then telling Dottie‘s abortion to her husband
⬇️ Interesting
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Dottie
Everyone trying to warn her
Neysa especially
Pregnancy/Abortion
Love starved open wound
Think this is an accurate portrayal of Dorothy
Winifred to the rescue
Lenox Hospital
Peggy tells Charlie off
And makes him visit Dottie
Then he comes back again
With an ugly scarf
What a tool
🤍I do not think the descriptions needed to be that vivid. It felt like an agenda. Abortion is personal, it has also saved my life, twice.
Speakeasy vibes for #sundaybuddyread #iykyk that‘s a delightful pink gin fizz in my tea cup, I‘m channeling Jane and her tasty bathtub gin
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD
Sorry folks, although I know Dorothy‘s real life I wasn‘t sure what we would read. Or what the author would write. I should have alerted triggers.
988 https://988lifeline.org/
As with any author I‘m sure her opinions have seeped in. Not every detail of real life is always shared is a good reminder. This is fiction many people and facts aren‘t told here is a good reminder. The author chose what to share.
Til Sunday 🤐🤐🤫
This week‘s section of #sundaybuddyread was INTENSE! Pretty graphic triggers but I‘m sure will make for quite the discussion. I‘m still wrapping my head around it 🤐
I love when a storm rolls in, I‘m porch sitting until the rain starts. It always seems to soak the porch immediately 🙄 I would love to sit out here in the rain!

Dorothy Parker🤍
Do you know about her?
How do you feel reading about real people fictionalized?
Dorothy getting fired for upsetting a prominent person seems like that could happen today !?!

Very good. Follows four women in 1920's Manhattan. The women are all real historical figures which gives the story a good grounding and dosen't disappoint. Full of twists and turns.

#HarperCollinsPublishers
This one was so good. I wasn‘t familiar historically with these women although I‘d heard of them. As a result I was totally sucked into the story. The 1920‘s is one of my favorite time period and this book delivered on setting. Characters and storyline.
Imagine reading ‘City of Girls‘ set in the 1920‘s and this book would result. It gets a pick from me not for the fictional conversation therein but for introducing me to 4 fascinating IRL New Yorkers that deserve to be remembered and researched (thanks google!): Dorothy Parker, Jane Grant, Margaret Leech, Winifred Lenihan. ↓
The pace was rather slow despite being told in 4 points of view. Each girl had their distinct voice and took me with them around the table, out dancing etc. I learned a few things and was sufficiently absorbed in their stories and development.
In retrospect though, it highlights the fact that women's struggles haven't made leaps and bounds since then and into today's world.
