Not bad
This book wasnt too bad. Although I have to admit, I hadnt the slightest clue as to what it was about when I picked it up. I just saw the great cover and had to read it. I was actually surprised as to how much I enjoyed it.
Although the book was a bit short and lacked details in what I found to be crucial areas, it was still able to keep me reading. I began this journey with the main character, Jessie, and had to see how it ended.
Soon after begining the book, you realize that Jessie, a young beautiful girl, is confused and feels lost. She needs to find herself and explore her options. This leads us to jobs as a prostitute and so called friends that we never thought she would meet.
But this book goes much much deeper than a girl that is trying to find herself. But I found it to be a love story. A story in which we have all experienced. When Jessie starts to lose trust and feeling in her longterm relationship with her boyfriend, Bell, she leaves. Through advice and new flings, she finds herself trapped, and eventually finding what it is she wants.
SUICIDE BLONDE was a good, quick read. I only gave it three stars because I think it needed more history involved in it. You are left without enought information about many of the characters which is frusterating. Other that this minor detail, this book is a fun, and extremely erotic tale of a girl trying to find her place in the world.

Read this book!
This book starts off slow but catches up fast and keeps the reader very interested. It could easily be made into an independent/sundance film. Read it!!!

"There are a million ways to kill off the soft parts of yourself." Darcey Steinke writes a well detailed exploration through the mind and journey of a young girl, Jesse, trying to find herself in San Francisco. Jesse lives with her boyfriend, Bell, in a little apartment. They both seem depressed and lost most of the time. Bell is a sullen bisexual which makes Jesse feel inadequate and unwanted. She goes in search of more and finds the perfect opportunity when her friend,Pig, asks her to find her "daughter", Madison, for her because she is dying. Jesse discovers Madison at a sleazy strip bar. Madison turns out to be one of Pig's old lovers, and is a free spirit with a small drug habit that Jesse finds intriguing. She moves in with her and starts working at the club and prostituting like Madison. She soon loses herself in Madison's dark life. However, she always returns to Bell because she wants him to want her and thinks she is in love with him. She is constantly changing things about herself to get him to like her more, which she realizes makes her exactly like her mother who she finds pathetic and annoying. This realization along with others helps he find herself. I enjoyed reading this book because it has shock appeal and a terrific surprise ending which I'm not going to give away. I also liked it because the characters were all very different and fascinating. Also recommended: THE LOSERS' CLUB by Richard Perez
