Rating: 4 out of 5

Length: NovellaPOV: First person told via four separate charactersMy cost: 0.00This story is told in the form of letters sent between four very different young women born in the latter half of the 20th century and follows their lives beginning in the 1960s and continuing for over 25 years through the late 1980s. The author uses accurate historical occurrences and believable cultural references throughout. The author also did a good job of differentiating between the characters by giving them distinctive voices, desires, opinions, and troubles. The time gaps between letters are sometimes quite large and the reader is left to fill in the blanks. This gives a 'found footage' feel to the story which is quite enjoyable.Keep in mind this story takes place when there was no ubiquitous use of computers with email / messaging / Facebook or cellphones with free long distance minutes and you will find this a quick and easy read.
