Set in the wild heart of Manhattan circa 1953, The Best of Everything finds the reader following five young women as they navigate the ups and downs of balancing life, work, and relationships. Like Carrie Bradshaw and her friends did many decades later, this book grabs the reader's attention and heart. From the first page, I was swept alongside the characters, feeling their emotions as vividly as my own. Jaffe, a talented writer, forms a world that feels eerily as similar as the struggles we each still face, some 60 years later. This book will have you laughing and crying, staying up for hours waiting to see what might happen next.  I highly recommend trying Jaffe's classic novel out and seeing where it takes you. You won't be disappointed!
