Mildred's problem is that she doesn't know how to say no. Monty is a privileged, jobless bum that looks down on working people, makes fun of her pies but she's still giving him money 🤦🏿♀️

This man tells Mildred she’s “the hottest piece of tail I ever had”. She rightfully gets upset and he goes “oh please I’m not a poet. That’s just how I talk. Stop being a prude 🙄” MONTY SUCKS

I’m very surprised about the amount of cussing, innuendos, references to sex and affairs in this book (Mildred complains about her ex’s “hussy” mistress parading around with no bra 😭; Mildred’s friend Mrs. Gessler advising her to date/sleep with Wally so she get her financial worries taken care of) . The Hays Code censored A LOT in the movie adaptation. Seeing the differences is really fascinating lol
