jennstrojny 's review for:

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
2.0

I did not like this book. No plot. No movement. No excitement. Not changed by this book. I tried reading other reviews to get inspired or figure out what was so life altering about it — but... no luck. Can ignite good conversation about gender and socioeconomic status (thank you book club!) but not my cup of tea!
