I just loved seeing Vivian come into her own and her found family. Vivian was honestly so iconic and funny. The commentary on women and sexuality was also done well in my opinion. Honestly the plot doesn’t happen I feel like till 200 pages, but I didn’t mind because I was so invested in the characters.

- I devoured and loved this book!
- It's super addicting, which I wasn't expecting from historical fiction.
- Love the topic of women's liberation as well as the ones that are "left behind" during war.
- It does non-likeable-main-character perfectly.
- A bit slow at first but definitely picks up after the first one-third.
- Felt like the romance at the end was unnecessary and would have preferred it if it wasn't a part of the book. However, considering that is there, wouldn't have done it a different way.
READ IF YOU ENJOY
- non likeable and flawed main characters
- self-aware narrator
- New York as a setting
- glamour, theatre and fashion
- women in a liberation and self-discovery journey
