Book Reviews of Bad Girls: 26 Writers Misbehave
Book Review: BAD GIRLS ARE WORTHY...
Summary: 4 Stars
As I read this Anthology, I was forced to look at myself really hard. There had to be a bad girl in me...where was she? I became frightened by the third or so story that perhaps my good girl had eaten my bad girl and now I must forever live a dull uninteresting life, with nothing to report.
What would I be living for? Where was the "She" that put down my foundation?
Every woman has a bad girl tucked away smiling and cocky.. These 26 writers had me laughing and crying and stunned all at once. Such an execellent read with a great bottle of wine...I unearthed my bad girl and plan to keep her aloft as a mentor.
Summary of Bad Girls: 26 Writers Misbehave
"Makes for seriously sexy (and smart) summer reading."-Elle"I behave badly to set myself apart. To test myself. To push myself. To prove something. To shock someone....I behave badly because I can." That's how Ellen Sussman describes her mischievous endeavors. In this anthology of personal essays, she's invited twenty-five other bad girl writers to share their stories. Ann Hood lies; Mary Roach confesses. Erica Jong, the original bad girl, challenges her own claim to that fame. Caroline Leavitt marries and cheats. These pages bristle with danger. The writers dig deep-bad behavior lies in their souls. And what they bring to the surface reveals telling truths about our psyches and our society. Reading group guide included.
