Loved this witty, modern read! Set in the 50/60s era, the main character, Elizabeth was a stunning portrait of confidence, intelligence, courage, and might.

I like this book very much

I was surprised how much I loved this book, it came highly recommended to me, and I will do the same- a 10/10 for having it all in small doses, a perfect equation if you will

From the moment I read the first page, I did not put it down. Fast and easy! Loved the story and its characters.
