The Subway Girls had me completely engaged from page 1! It's 1949 and Charlotte can't wait to start living her best life in advertising, even if it's just the typing pool but before that sparkling new life can start, she's got to find that elusive job. After so many rejection letters, Charlotte finally gets a positive response but it is as a finalist in the Miss Subways contest. At first, Charlotte is reluctant to pursue the opportunity, but her friend JoJo convinces her that the experience would be worth it.
Skip forward about 70 years later, advertising executive Olivia is struggling to secure an ad account for her advertising agency. She comes across the Miss Subways campaign in her pitch and becomes enthralled with the inspiring women that participated.
The Subway Girls is a wonderfully inspiring interesting read. I loved both stories equally and appreciated how they overlapped as well. Days after finishing the novel, I'm still thinking about the characters and have even ordered the Meet Miss Subways book the author mentioned she used for some of her research.
I received this book courtesy of St. Martin's Press through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
