Title: White Collar GirlAuthor: Renee Rosen
Genre: Historical Fiction
Synopsis: Jordan Walsh wants to be a reporter, but as a woman in 1950's Chicago she is going to have to write some fluff pieces and really fight to work her way up. With her family falling apart after the death of her brother Jordan wants to prove to everyone that she is just as good a reporter as her late brother and her retired father. When she gets information from a confidential source she will let nothing, not even personal relationships, get in the way of her first big break.
My Thoughts
What I like most about this novel is that it is not just about Jordan at the newspaper and the prejudice against women reporters that keep her writing the "White Collar Girl" column. While that is the main focus of the novel it also delves into what loss can do to a small, close family unit and the desperation that causes each of its members. There are also multiple romantic relationships depicted in this novel, but they are flawed like the people in them. There is also an element of mystery that goes along with several of the stories Jordan works to report, which keeps the reader engaged and provides an element of suspense.
If you are looking for a fast and interesting read focused on the many types of relationships in the human experience, newspapers in the 1950s, and women breaking free of traditional roles, then this book is for you!
