Typos today are, for once, not my own work. Almost every sentence begins ‘So’ or ‘I mean’, and her deep thoughts are about as perceptive as her spelling is correct. The joy of the novel is the voice Loos creates for her blonde. She is not aided by her unrefined friend Dorothy, whom I absolutely love – Lorelei attempts to refine her, but Dorothy’s slang and insults (“Lady, if we hurt your dignity like you hurt our eyesight I hope for your sake, you are a Christian science”) are thankfully unfettered by decorum – they’re hilarious.

I love mythology, I love PNR, and I love YA literature. The amount of five-star reviews was astounding, especially for a book I had never even heard of.
