For my first book of 2022, this book was amazing

Shirley is…. I hate her let’s just say (
if Shirley hadn’t started dating Calvin, half of this book wouldn’t have happened and everyone would have been fine!!!
)

I love the build up to the romance and the telegraph club itself, the more it was brought up, the more homely it became and I love that. And characters like Lana, Claire, Paula and Tommy (who I now have mixed opinions for) make the place so well rounded and realistic. 

Grace…
oh my lord YOU DONT FREAKING SLAP YOUR KID FOR BEING GAY!!!
also I’m just saying, I’m convinced Judy is a closeted bisexual woman, she gives off the energy several times in the book.

I’m so excited to hopefully read any more of Lo’s writing because she is brilliant :)
