(Reviewed by Jeyran Main)
The year is 1938, and no ladies are working as animators at Harley Studios, Los Angeles. Maggie Goodwin wants to change that and prove everyone wrong.
In a world where most of the time we get to see rejection and hear many, ‘No’s,’ Maggie is determined to make something of herself and to be known as an animator. We read the journey she takes and how she even gets scrutinized over preferring to wear pants instead of skirts.
As a female protagonist, I found Maggie to be the perfect character for this story. Her personality and charisma are beyond her time, and as a reader, I could understand her point of view.
The pace of the story is steady and keeps the reader intrigued. I also found the formatting of the story to be appealing. It is clear that the author cared about the presentation of her story. The cover design reflects the material inside.
It is well-written, and the story is described in a well-mannered way. I recommend it to anyone who likes to read women’s fiction and female-oriented books.
