The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather
3.0
This isn't a book that would have ordinarily interested me, so shout out to the 2015 Pop Sugar reading challenge, because I enjoyed it.
Parts were slow (specifically Part I), but on the whole, this was a pretty good book. I would have liked to spend some time with Thea in Germany, but on the whole, maybe it was for the best because it was sometimes hard to hang out with her. She was very focused on her goals, which is AWESOME. But every time she was like "I don't make friends with girls/women" it bummed me out.
On the whole, though, it was nice to read about a woman at the turn of the century from humble beginnings who was able to make her dreams come true. And Cather's style was interesting and compelling.
