Highly recommend
This quirky, cute book was a change from the heavy books I have recently read. It did cover some intense topics, as it is set in 1963 NYC during a period of great changes.
The writing, plot, and characters were all done well. I liked Bernadette - she was a hoot and fun to root for vicariously!
A great book with a powerful message. Not much has changed in over 60 years - we have a lot of work to do in this country.
