A review by emilyusuallyreading
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos
3.0
What I Liked
I laughed through the entirety of Lorelei's diaries. The characters are so entertaining and the social commentary has an undertone of feminism that reaches far beyond its time. I still can hardly believe the "flapper" lifestyle was a real thing.
What I Didn't Like
While the book's simplicity and poor grammar were intentional, I have trouble gaining as much appreciation from this read as I have from other literature. I had a good laugh as I turned each page, but I found the book ultimately forgettable.
