Personally, for me, it's much more rewarding to focus on the immense sea of wonderful books out there. I'm a writer, not a professional reviewer. But life's too short to spend your time grousing about books you don't like when you could be talking about those you did like, and those that have inspired you. Sometimes I'm naughty and I don't even finish reading certain books. And yes, I've read plenty of books that I don't like. When a book I liked stays on my mind, I may even write a sentence or two about why I liked it or jot down some little observation I made in the course of reading it that made me feel like a smarty pants. That's why you don't see any other ratings from me (I swear that while I'm pretty bad with computers, I know how to click different amounts of stars, I just don't).

When glamorous Odalie, a new girl, joins the typing pool, despite her best intentions Rose falls under Odalie's spell. Yet prudish Rose is stuck in the fading light of yesteryear, searching for the nurturing companionship that eluded her childhood. All around her women bob their hair, they smoke, they go to speakeasies.
Gone are the Victorian standards of what is acceptable. This is a new era for women, and New York is a confusing place for Rose. It is 1923, and while she may hear every detail about shootings, knifings, and murders, as soon as she leaves the interrogation room she is once again the weaker sex, best suited for filing and making coffee.
A typist in a New York City Police Department precinct, Rose is like a high priestess. With a few strokes of the keys that sit before her, she can send a person away for life in prison.
