The author did a lot of deep research into Dorothy Hale and the Café Society crowd. I respect that. It shows.

At the heart of it, it‘s a coming-of-age story about a misunderstood girl. As such, the ending was unsatisfying to me. It left me wanting closure. But what was so unique was that I didn‘t expect one.

The specter of New York looms as its own character in the novel, and all of its citizens play their lives out so spectacularly. Wharton paints this wonderfully manipulative underbelly even while its inhabitants breed their discontent as it has been done for generations before.

The idea of a federally funded unit being set up to eliminate books was an amazing premise. What‘s so shocking about the book is that it‘s not so much the government is a tool, but going along with what the people want.

This book was a treat. #amreading #bookworm #bibliophile #bookish #booknerdigans #bookblogger #tsundoku #greatreads #readmorebooks #coolgirlsread
