This book is full of 1980s crazy, all the sleaze and ostentatious everything. There are flashbacks and double crosses. This is a long, long book, packed full of debauchery, wonderful escapist reading. This would be a great historical series on netflix, it has that engaging, optimistic over-the-top flair for life and indulgence. This is the right book to start with if you would like to start reading Jackie Collins.
