my stepmother who gives me great books gave this to me mainly because it is all about living in new york. and even though i didn't have high standards when i started it and it has never quite exceeded even those standards, i am flying through it. it circles around a drama in the plot that given the comparisons of hardships and lifestlyes throughout the book, comes off as trivial as some of the societal issues it is trying to call out for being trivial. while there are tensions spinning off of that drama, i am distracted by the narrative voice being too naive and repetitive in her thoughts about the other characters and about the economic/social roles we are born into but still, i like her.
