A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
5.0

4.5-5, I really enjoyed this book. It’s very hard for a book to make me emotional and this got me watery eyed for sure. The dynamic between the mother and daughter was something I think a lot of eldest daughters experience! I love how real it is, no happy ending, poverty to it’s core, alcoholism, etc.
