Necklace of Kisses
Where are the kisses?
Weetzie Bat wondered. When her relationship with Secret Agent Lover Man turns cold, the forty-year-old post-punk pixie packs up, jumps into her mint-green '65 Thunderbird, and leaves to take refuge in L.A.'s enchanted Pink Hotel — with its blue-skinned receptionist, invisible cleaning lady, seductive faun, and sushi-eating mermaid who gives Weetzie the first kiss that sets the wheel of self-discovery spinning madly in motion. Though she faces some very adult problems, anything is still possible in Weetzie's world — angels, magic... even true love.

Weetzie Bat
The Weetzie Bat books are set in an almost dream-like, heightened version of Los Angeles, "Shangri-L.A.", in an indefinite time period that evokes both the essence of the 1980s punk craze and the sophisticated glamor of Hollywood in the 1950s.
Weetzie Bat consists of six primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
