Hello guys! I am super pumped for this post! So basically, I am going to post a summary of the book and if you want to read it, you just read it. You can find me on Instagram and Google Plus where I will be posting regular posts after each chapter where we can all discuss pieces of the books we liked or didn’t like or even questions you might have about the book! So my social media usernames will be at the bottom of this post!
Addie is The Boston Girl, the spirited daughter of an immigrant Jewish family, born in 1900 to parents who were unprepared for America and its effect on their three daughters. Growing up in the North End of Boston, then a teeming multicultural neighborhood, Addie’s intelligence and curiosity take her to a world her parents can’t imagine—a world of short skirts, movies, celebrity culture, and new opportunities for women. Addie wants to finish high school and dreams of going to college. She wants a career and to find true love. From the one-room tenement apartment she shared with her parents and two sisters, to the library group for girls she joins at a neighborhood settlement house, to her first, disastrous love affair, to finding the love of her life, eighty-five-year-old Addie recounts her adventures with humor and compassion for the naïve girl she once was.
