Very entertaining. Molly Bolt is poor, gay, and female in the 60's. Not quite the recipe for making it from Florida to college and, ultimately, film directing as she dreams. Her spirit, wit, and determination will make you dig her. Brown's conversational writing style is delightful.

Who says I can't rate a book based on its dedication? LOL
here's what it says:
Dedicated to
ALEXIS SMITH
Actress, Wit, Beauty, Cook, Kindheart, Irreverent Observer of Political Phenomena, Etc. If I were to list her outstanding qualities, you, dear reader, would be exhausted before you get to page one. So let me just say the abovementioned woman took the time to give me a playful push in the direction of my typewriter. Of course, after you read the book, you may wish that she had pushed me in front of something moving faster than a typewriter.
