A review by dizzymissizzyy
Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan

5.0

One of the best protagonists I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I have spent my whole life wishing there was a version of Goodfellas with a girl in it, and I’ve finally found it, only so much better. All around strong, well fleshed-out characters, compelling plot, and a ton of amazing historical context. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
