I'm reading Valley of the Dolls right now and it's engaging and I'm going to finish it but I find that it's very surface level. It's not bad I just want something with more philosophical undertones and prolific social commentary and deeper character development and poetic prose. (To be fair, I'm barely half way through so I might get some of that here.)
I do not want a love story. It can talk abut love and romance but it won't be the dominant theme. Unless you can convince me that it won't be too sappy.
