Today I am so excited to be a part of the 50th anniversary blog tour of Valley of the Dolls. This modern classic has had a glamour make over to celebrate. Check out the new jacket below!
*Praise for Valley of the Dolls*
“Decades
ahead of its time . . . Mesmerizing . . . The equation of emotional
dependencies with drug addiction in one comprehensive personality disorder is,
if anything, more chic today than in Susann’s time.”—Mim Udovitch, Village
Voice Literary Supplement
“Jacqueline
Susann’s questioning of glamour and fame, so unsettling in its honesty, crept
into my head and stayed there, lingering for years until I was finally able to
give it my own expression.”—Lori Goldstein
“Exciting
news for all you modern Dolls (#squadgoals)
and aspiring millennial readers . . . the story feels more relevant than
ever.”—Micaela English, Town &
Country
“Valley of the Dolls remains a
pop-culture touchstone: a gleefully salacious story of friendship, sex,
backstabbing and pills (or ‘dolls’).”—Alexandria Symonds, T: The New York Times Style Magazine
