They‘re certainly pushing this novel of a 1920s divorcee. It was in the thriller section in WH Smiths. However, the blurb made it sound like something else. In both seller and buyer, confusion reigns but I thought maybe it was an edgy, impossible to categorise, rediscovered curio plus I have a soft spot for women behaving badly stories so I took a punt. Sadly I can‘t get past the first 30 pages. It‘s American Psycho without the murders or irony

Very interesting insight male/female relationships in 1920s New York - found myself a little irritated by the characters but it‘s an era thing ! Overall I enjoyed it .

Well if this didn't blow the doors off my conception of the 20s. Riveting, pacey, voicey as hell. Not all the concepts have aged well, of course, but I still loved the hell out of Pat. #classics

Read Like the Wind: “The story concerns Patricia, a sexy blunt object whose life in New York City circa Prohibition revolves around writing ad copy, drinking rivers of Scotch and negotiating life as an ex-wife at the wizened old age of 24. This edition features a gorgeous introduction by Alissa Bennett.
