Anne becomes besties with a girl in her building, Neely, and starts dating a nice guy, who turns out to be a secret millionaire. She immediately finds a nice, affordable room, and lands a well-paid, interesting job as a more-than-secretary to a firm of entertainment lawyers. She is beautiful and smart, a teenage Radcliffe grad, with an inheritance to support herself, just in case Manhattan isn’t perfect. In 1945, beautiful young Anne Welles leaves her stifling hometown in Lawrenceville, Mass. So, I’m going to assume that everyone else has read this one, and let some spoilers into my reaction. Published in 1967, Valley of the Dolls is one of those retro novels that I’ve been meaning to read for ages. I found this one at a sweet Little Free Library in Harrison, Arkansas on our road trip.
