A bit cliche? Maybe. But the ending I was fully anticipating is not exactly what I got!

This is the first book to make me cry in a very long time. Such a beautiful and funny story about charting your own path in life and not giving up on your dreams. I love that despite it being set in the 1960s and being mainly focused on the Jewish faith, it’s still such a relatable tale of not wanting to be confined to a box. The female characters were also so well-written! Ada and Marilyn were the perfect pair and their stubbornness and playfulness with each other really made me laugh at times. Then Lillian’s sweet nature was the perfect counterbalance to their attitude. Honestly this is the first book that has made me cry in a long while too. I just loved it so much and I can’t wait to get the physical copy.

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. I laughed, I cringed, I got mad, I cried, and I laughed all over again. It read like life and I loved that. Ada made me nostalgic for something I've lost but can't remember. Hands down, the best book I've read all year.
