City of Girls b

by Elizabeth Gilbert
This coming-of-age story follows Vivian, a college dropout from a wealthy family, as she moves to New York to live with her eccentric aunt Peg who owns a theatre. What follows is a series of fabulous, fun adventures. This book explores the challenges of war and the golden age of comedy on Broadway. Vivian, the main character, is someone you can easily relate to, and the author's witty sarcasm really adds to the story's charm.
