AlbakiReads Editorial A fantastical turning point for Weetzie Bat
A fantastical turning point for Weetzie Bat
Set within Francesca Lia Block’s Weetzie Bat series, Necklace of Kisses finds Weetzie at forty, leaving a relationship that has grown stagnant and checking into an enchanted pink hotel. The hotel’s surreal inhabitants—including a blue-skinned receptionist, an invisible cleaner, and a sushi-eating mermaid—turn her stay into a catalyst for self-discovery. Contemporary fantasy and romantic uncertainty meet in a story where magical encounters accompany a major change in Weetzie’s life. Familiarity with the earlier Weetzie Bat books may add context, but the central thread here is Weetzie’s search for renewal, desire, and love beyond an established partnership.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of the Weetzie Bat series

"Weetzie's many fans will most appreciate this reunion. . . but those just meeting Block's whimsical entourage and sparkling prose will also appreciate the book's message: that magic can be found in stolen moments and, in Dirk's words, though 'love is a dangerous angel, ' it's well worth the risk." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
In this installment of Francesca Lia Block's phenomenal Weetzie Bat series, we follow Weetzie through a life-altering and magical journey, where anything is possible, even true love.
Turning 40 and stuck in a relationship gone stale, Weetzie packs up one day and leaves Max, the same secret agent lover man who was once the other half of a passionate relationship. She stays at an enchanted pink hotel, where she meets an otherworldly cast of characters, among them a blue-skinned receptionist, an invisible cleaning lady, a seductive room service clerk, and a sushi-eating mermaid who gives her a kiss that sets the wheel of self-discovery in motion.
