Love at first sight... This is a way I describe this book. First thing first, I couldn't even imagine that I would be so carried away while reading it. Elizabeth Gilbert knows for sure how to catch the attention of the audience and make you addicted to the novel. "City of Girls" is like "Home alone" movie. You keep reading it because every time it's a way riverting and captivating. Besides, the novel's setting is worthy of mentioning. New York. What can be more atmospherical? City of american dream, adventure, and as I've discovered, girls. Moreover, the narration and a style of the writing are mind-boggling. By the by, Mrs Gilbert is said to follow the style of renowned Charles Dickens. There is no wonder though that this work is full of divine metaphors, similies and awe-inspiring quotations. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I recommend it .
