City of Girls

Really enjoyed getting to know the narrator of this story and hear about her life. It's not idyllic or perfect, but an honest story. I did feel like the book dragged on a bit by the end- the first half in the 40s at the theater is the best part of the story from an excitement standpoint, but the real “meat & potatoes” is the middle to end. It's there you find the passages that have a melancholy realness to them and the truths about the choices we make and carving your own path out in the world.
