Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for generously granting me an ARC of this book for a fair and honest review:
I loved it. Loved, loved, loved. I have a bright spot in my heart for stories of showgirls back in the Hollywood golden era, and Harrison has put so much effort into delving into the life of a striving showgirl. We get to tag along in her realistic and fulfilling rise, and Harrison makes sure that we are fully present in that world, in that time, belonging alongside the characters. What a smart and slippery trek through the evolving relationship, and without giving away too much, this is one smart journey, so realistic in how the marriage starts its reveal as not all you think it is. Where other novels lose a reader by zipping through relationship dynamics, The Show Girl shows 'em how to do it right. I loved living in this book. This is a beach read, for sure.
