THE BAD GIRL by L Donsky-Levine

4.5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed by me as part of Rosie Amber’s Review Team

I liked this book a lot. It’s witty, sharp, unusual, touching and so well written. Set in downtown New York in the 1970s, this is a fairly long novella about Riley, a lonely girl working in the sex trade with no company except her beloved cats, and Fitz, a one-armed Vietnam vet.

I read in the author’s bio that she’s a native New Yorker, and her knowledge of and love for the city is so apparent in this story. It’s what I think of as warts-and-all New York, the impression I had of it when I was growing up—more 1970s cop show than Carrie Bradshaw and Mr Big!
