Fiery Girls

I enjoyed this one quite a lot. I wasn't familiar with the women's union movement in NY, or the Triangle factory tragedy, so that made this one super interesting. As did Maria's journey. My grandparents came through Ellis Island from Italy, so that part really resonated with me as well.

PROS
– Well written
– A relatively quick read
– Intriguing plot based on historically accurate facts
– Loved the setting and time period
– Loved Maria
– Well rounded cast of side characters
– Satisfying ending

CONS
– Weak romance (I felt it wasn't necessary to the story)
– A little slow through the middle
– Rosie...I honestly found her annoying and whiny most of the time
