I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion. 
 On December 31, 1984, 85-year-old Lillian Boxfish takes a walk around New York City. The story jumps back and forth between the 1984 "current" time for Lillian and looking back on her life in New York, from working in advertising at Macy's to being a mother to her now-grown son. 
 The past and "present" parts of the book were both compelling. The elderly Ms. Boxfish is someone I would very much enjoy having dinner with and getting to hear more about her life. I think it is neat that the book is at least partially-based on Margaret Fishback, who really was the highest-paid woman in advertising in the 1930s.
