Books like Lace
Lace
The first time I read this I was 11 years old (yes, really) because I had finished reading the stack of books I'd taken out of the library and, as I often did when I sped through my tower of borrowed books, I stole a book off of my parents' shelves.This was hardly shocking to me at 11, until I got the chapter where the Arab prince is pleasuring his concubine, and that image has since stayed with me in a weird way. I learned about things reading books that were not meant for me long before I should've known any of these things. Even now I'm not sure I ever needed half of that information.That being said, the book is entertaining. It's got that overly dramatic, shoulder-padded glamour that embodied the 80's and it's fun to delve into the scandalous lives of these women and their adventures through life.Though it's been a while since the last time I've read this, I remember it being a fun and campy ride and is a great companion to your fancy umbrella drink as you lounge poolside.
