Book Reviews of Third Girl from the Left
Book Review: A generational story of love and infatuation with the world of film
Summary: 4 Stars
Angela Edwards escapes stifling Tulsa, Oklahoma in the early 1970s to try to make it as an actress in Los Angeles. She dreams of being an actress because that was what people did in LA. No one told her that it would be easy. Nothing like the movies Angela saw growing up. Angela meets up with Sheila Jenkins who invites her to room with her. Sheila acts as a mentor to Angela, even helping to get her a job as playboy bunny. Angela is torn between her love for Sheila and for Rafe Madigan, a somewhat successful actor. Angela forgets her birth control and ends up having his baby in the mid-1970s. Estranged from her family, she tries going home but realizes her home is with Sheila. Her mother Mildred and her daughter Tamara's stories are put side by side with that of Angela's. The chapters follow the three women in chasing their dreams, falling in love, making mistakes, and realizing how important family is to them. A delightfully well-written story that makes you think.
