I’m giving this 3.5 stars. The meat of the story is very entertaining and fast paced.... but it just doesn’t quite add up with the way the story starts off and ends.... It almost feels like there’s two different books here and the “connection” to bridge the two stories is a bit of a stretch in my opinion...... definitely didn’t need 400 pages to make the connection.

Let's call it 3.5 stars. This is another book where I enjoyed the first half more than the second half.

An awesome and enthralling reading taking place in the mid 1920s and 30s of New York City’s bustling era in which our main character finds herself living in her Aunt’s theatre company and immersed in a world of glitz, glamour and show girls.

I enjoyed most of this book. Near the end though - eh. I'm not sure why but when the story actually got to the part it was building to, I was a little disappointed in the dialogue and the path taken. Overall though well written.

There’s an unexpected twist to the narrative. The first 2/3rds is captivating and fun, last 1/3rd gets a bit slower and the story line changes. A good reflection on one’s life, and not the typical narrative of a woman’s life.
