Manhattan Girls by GILL PAUL. OY VEY. This author was HORRIFIC. She apparently hated the women she was writing about and was just narrating her options on abortion, suicide and independent women. JUST NO. Do Not READ this book………..(Manhattan Girls by GILL PAUL).
Instead read anything DOROTHY PARKER has written…small sampling below. Anything Dorothy Parker writes is good.
THRENODY by Dorothy Parker
Lilacs blossom just as sweet
Now my heart is shattered.
If I bowled it down the street, Who’s to say it mattered?
If there’s one that rode away What would I be missing?
Lips that taste of tears, they say, Are the best for kissing.
Eyes that watch the morning star Seem a little brighter;
Arms held out to darkness are
Usually whiter.
Shall I bar the strolling guest, Bind my brow with willow, When, they say, the empty breast Is the softer pillow?
That a heart falls tinkling down,
Never think it ceases.
Every likely lad in town
Gathers up the pieces.
If there’s one gone whistling by Would I let it grieve me?
Let him wonder if I lie;
Let him half believe me.
