"Alternating chapters bring you the story of 2 women trying to make it on their own in NYC: Darby, in the early 1950’s; and Rose, in 2016. There was an element of suspense in this “chick-lit plus” historical novel. I found it to be an easy, light read; good for a plane ride or on a beach. I’d recommend this as a mother/daughter read & share book. It would lend itself to discussions regarding career goals, how to successfully achieve independence, and the ever-changing expectations of how young women should behave." - D. Zelamsky
