Overall, I thought this book was fine. I wasn’t terribly impressed but I also did not dislike it. Personally, I didn’t really feel that connected to any of the characters. The vibes are good if you like to romanticize that old timey NYC era. But there really is no plot whatsoever. I normally love that kind of book, but I think that the character development really didn’t do it for me. I can easily see how some other people would love this book because the writing style is very descriptive and engaging, but personally it just didn’t hit for me.
