![]() ![]() Once is not Enough, published in 1973, was the third of her blockbuster bestsellers. And fiction doesn’t get much trashier than Jacqueline Susann. I’ve always loved trash cinema but in the past year I’ve discovered that trash fiction holds just as many delights. ![]() I didn't like it, but it touched my emotions, and any time an author can make you want to rant about fictitious people, they've done their job. The book earns an extra star because I want to grab someone and discuss the book over coffee despite the fact it drove me up the wall. I kept waiting for this to somehow redeem itself.only to be confronted with the one of the all-time Oh You SO Did Not Just End This Book Like That!!! finales. Even the other characters are aware of the incest theme in Once Is Not Enough and yet no one ever points out how sick the father-adult daughter relationship is nor ever recommends they seek professional help. And I would have enjoyed this ride through Doll-land NYC, but continually controlling my gag reflex over the whole father-daughter lust thing got to be a strain.Īt least the incest theme in The Love Machine was only hinted at and the character got help. ![]() Ah, the days when alcohol was officially one of the major food groups. ![]()
