Welcome to Litsy!

A day late, but... Sally Jay Gorce is the perfect fun, flirty, and #promiscuous protagonist for this prompt. Dundy has an amazing ability to convey the (hilarious) voice of her main character in this novel- perhaps bc this story is loosely based on her own life.

When you hear about a book from a podcast and later in the day see it on a display shelf at the library, you go ahead and read it.

So far it‘s an odd little book. The narrator is grieving the suicide of her #promiscuous friend and in the aftermath of his death she ends up taking care of his dog. Meanwhile she rambles and meanders a lot. About all sorts of things. I‘m really not sure where this is going or what I think about it.

Excellently researched with just enough detail to satisfy my curiosity but without being boring! This is geared to a #YA audience with the pictures and some of the explanations, but it wasn‘t too simple or basic either. I‘ve watched the Masterpiece show Victoria and this book was a nice accompaniment. Queen Victoria was definitely against #promiscuous behavior-she‘d had enough of that with her uncles! She had very strong morals! #heatofjuly

Some might say the ladies from Sex and the City are #promiscuous, but I always admired how they were living their best lives doing what they wanted. I might not have agreed with everything they did, but the series did make me rethink some of my norms and stereotypes.

Also, this was a clear example of the series being better than the book. I bailed on this so many times before finally finishing it 😅

#HeatOfJuly This true life memoir features some very #promiscuous behavior which was beyond shocking. Suzy Favor Hamilton, a 3 time Olympic athletic, suburban housewife and young mother was turning tricks for exuberant fees & lavish gifts. Addicted to the rush of a thrill & power of attention, Suzy Hamilton soon finds the glamorous world of a paid escort to tempting to quit. It‘s a page turner!

Not read the book - just gone for a quote!
Such a judgemental word isn‘t it!?

#promiscuous #heatofjuly This book was written in 1953. It is way ahead of its time. Unfortunately, this author was believed to have killed himself in 1958. There are so many things he says in this book that are relevant today. The pompous guy talking is the MC, who is a therapist helping a woman deal with the suicide of her fiancé who used to be his ex lover. You hate him until the middle of the book where you find out how fallible he is.
