Don't Forget to Write: A Novel by Sara Goodman Confino

5.0

 "Don't Forget to Write" by Sara Goodman Confino is a delightful, heartwarming journey set in 1960s America. Confino masterfully blends humor and emotion, crafting a story that oscillates between laugh-out-loud moments and touching scenes that tug at the heartstrings. The novel shines in its portrayal of strong, multifaceted female characters, particularly Marilyn and her great-aunt Ada, who defy societal expectations of their time. Confino's witty storytelling and vivid characterization, reminiscent of beloved characters like Mrs. Maisel, bring the era to life with authenticity and charm. The summer adventure of self-discovery and intergenerational bonding offers a refreshing take on coming-of-age tales, making it a standout read that resonates long after the final page.
