Valley of the Dolls

This was quite the fun read. Beauty and fame-obsessed starlets, trying to climb the ladder to the showbiz top. Popping pills, sleeping their way up, back-stabbing, growing old and not being any wiser. I really appreciated that not even nice-girl Anne, the main protagonist, got her happy ending. The homophobic and fat-shaming slurs are cringe-worthy, but most likely a true portrait of that era and industry.
