Catching up on a few overdue posts on what I've read lately. City of Girls, by Elizabeth Gilbert, was a light-hearted read about an independent young woman in the 1940's trying to be live authentically in New York City.
It was a little long-winded and I can't say I would recommend the read, that said it had some good lines and I think the message of the book was really summed up with this line:
"at some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time. After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is."
