Gorgeous and timeless tale of growing up. Big love for the Nolan family and for their little corner of Brooklyn. A nostalgic read, though I haven’t read it before, it felt familiar. The style was very simple and not flowery and for some reason that just truly worked. Like a good loaf of bread. No frills. I can see why this novel endures. I imagine I’ll revisit it. Charming, heartfelt, honestly very dear book.

You know those movies where nothing truly bombastic happens but the plot isn't ever boring? This book is exactly like that. Just the daily happenings of life, occurring chapter after chapter. Seeing the turn of the century from Francie's eyes was like being there myself. 10/10
