A love story to New York, but also to strong independent females, friendship and bucking conventions. The book is structured as a letter and storytelling to Angela, whose connection to the narrator only becomes apparent toward the end of the novel. I particularly enjoyed the vibrant descriptions of the theatre scene in the 1940s.

I really liked the first 65% then it felt strained and like another story.

None of the characters were likeable enough for me to care about a story that was only mildly interesting. Couldn’t keep my focus at all.
