I'm so glad I did! The author brings the '20s and all its sparkling energy to life in this book, and I really felt immersed in it, in a way that I rarely do with YA novels. I didn't know much about the '20s, and wasn't that interested in it, but I needed an audiobook for the commute so I took a chance.
