Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for a review.
In 1984 Phoebe dreamt of being a true New Yorker, cool and blasé, like her friend Carmen when they were in college. After moving to the city and suffering multiple emotional blows, she finally gets her chance to live with and emulate her idol and best friend. She becomes Astrid the Star Girl, telling fortunes at a club every night until darkness and betrayal take over.
This gritty view of the New York club scene in the 80's was a peek at the time when you are just starting to find yourself and who you want to be. The atmospheric tale was more than just a story about Phoebe,; it was a love letter to a New York in the past.
