- 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
