informative
slow-paced
3.5
This book was heavily informative- shedding light on the chaos that was the 1920s. I enjoyed the story from the POV of notable women. While the book was under 400 pages, it did seem to go on and on. Despite the sometimes tedious pace, I'm glad to have read it.

3.0
Light on the info and heavy on name dropping. Having a good knowledge of the NYC intellectual elite is required to get even half an understanding of what’s going on.
