Honestly, I thought this book was a little bit dumb. Beebo just seemed kind of annoying and based on the description of her, I found it difficult to believe that so many women (including this famous movie star) were attracted to her. It was interesting to hear the discrimination that was present in the 60's towards lesbian women. Amazing because that was not so long ago and it's sad thinking about how many people surely lived lives that were difficult and unfulfilled because society did not allow them to be themselves.
