Ten Girls to Watch
Ten Girls to Watch: A Novel | Charity Shumway
2 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
A radiant debut novel about stumbling through the early years of adulthood— and a love letter to the role models who light the way. Like so many other recent graduates, Dawn West is trying to make her way in New York City. She’s got an ex-boyfriend she can’t quite stop seeing, a roommate who views rent checks and basic hygiene as optional, and a writing career that’s gotten as far as penning an online lawn care advice column. So when Dawn lands a job tracking down the past winners of Charm magazine’s “Ten Girls to Watch” contest, she’s thrilled. After all, she’s being paid to interview hundreds of fascinating women: once outstanding college students, they have gone on to become mayors, opera singers, and air force pilots. As Dawn gets to know their life stories, she’ll discover that success, love, and friendship can be found in the most unexpected of places. Most importantly, she’ll learn that while those who came before us can be role models, ultimately, we each have to create our own happy ending.

First read of the year and I thought it was pretty dull. I mostly skimmed the last half of it. I really feel like this could have been shorter and didn‘t need to be 350+ pages.

LoverofLit My first read of the year wasn't great either! Woh woh. Onward! 6y
