We appreciate this Aug 06, 2015, Good Reads review:
I loved this autobiographical novel, which came out this spring!
As a reviewer wrote, it’s “lots of laughs and a few well-earned tears.”
The diary format and many old 1950s photos from the author’s collection lent authenticity to the book, which is based on the author’s childhood journals.
The combination of light-hearted fun and serious issues for girls growing up in the 1950s appealed to me.
I recommend this book highly, especially for women of all ages. Men who want to understand women better and are interested in 20th Century history will also find the book appealing. Angela, the main character, often describes her reactions to the books she reads, music she enjoys, and movies she sees while growing up in Albany NY.
P.S. I enjoyed the web site: www.boycrazybook.com.
