It's a good lil window to the life of a woman in 1932 who struggles with finding out what she wants plus coming from the lower class so there's a problem with money. Also the writing is really interesting. A bit like a diary but not boring like Anne Frank. It's fictional ofc maybe that's what makes it more interesting. But it has the feeling of being real. It's very much possible to live her life like it's described in the book.
