Summer at Tiffany Audiobook

" A very fun read! As a devotee of all things robin egg blue, it was wonderful to imagine Marjorie Hart the summer of 1945 in New York City working at Tiffany! Very sweet and poignant. "

" a fluffy, cute book. i breezed through it quite quickly. it's nice to read a memoir that is upbeat, for a change. "

" A gentle and lovely memoir of a young woman's summer job at Tiffany's on Fifth Avenue during the last months of WWII. Loaded with style and grace, Marjorie Hart's memoir evokes the era so well; gloves and heels, decorum and mischief. A sweet book. "

" I really liked the story and reading a first-hand account of the time period, but I didn't care for the style of writing at all. "

" What an experience the author had! "

" I really liked this. Set in the 40's, two girls set off for New York and get summer jobs at Tiffany's. It's a true story. "

" A cute summer book. Very light about two young women from Iowa who spend their summer vacation in NYC and land a job at Tiffany. "

" I'm usually a fan of WWII books and I'm certainly a fan of Tiffany. This was a light quick read about the summer at the end of the war when the author became one of the first female pages to work at Tiffany & Co. "

" .A summer read; I would have been annoyed by it otherwise, I think. Clean, moral, a memory story with only good things to say. Perhaps as the author says we DO need more books like this. I'm just not certain who the "we" is in that generalization "

" Enjoyable, easy summer read that realy seemed to capture the flavor of the time. "

" Boring book & I am glad to be done with it. I found the characters annoying. Some stories are better told than read & I think this may be an example of that. "

" It was okay. I liked the stories... but it wasn't a memoir about growth. If it were my Grandma I'd love it, but as something to read about someone else, I wanted more meaning. "

" This book was a disappointment. It lacked enough depth to take it to that next level. I would have liked more information about the author's feelings about the events of World War II. Overall, the whole thing just seemed too perky. "

" Cute story based on the author's experiences in New York during the mid-1940's at the end of WWII. The atmosphere of the era is strongly portrayed. A sweet, happy read. "

" A quick and breezy leave-behind book from Kate's visit. It put me in mind of a gentler version of My Sister Eileen. Impossible to not describe Hart as lovely. "

" A sparkling memoir filled with my favorite kind of vintage glamour. It would have been lovely to be in Marjorie's shoes (or shirtwaist dress) during her tenure at Tiffany. "

" This is the story of a woman looking back on the best summer of her life, and what a summer it was! She and her friend were the first women ever employed by Tiffany's, what a job! It was a cute story, but clearly not written by an experienced author. "

" A quick fun read. A girls story of her summer job at Tiffany & Co. in the 1940's. Loved it "

" This was a selection from PEO bookclub. Very light a perfect summer read that you can easliy read in a day. "

" A light read for sure, a cupcake of a book!---fun to read of a summer job at Tiffany's, in NYC,in the fourties "

" What a fun read, 2 young Iowa women spend the summer of 1945 as the first women pages at Tiffany and Company. They have no money but plenty of spunk. I am going to recommend this to my special friend, Jane. I think she will appreciate the references to happenings during WWII "

" Good "beach read" but not anything amazing. I enjoyed it though and it was a quick read. "

" What a fun look at New York in 1945! Marjorie's tale of working as a page at Tiffany is full of delicious details that beautifully recreate life in that era. An entertaining charm of a read. "

" The only reason I give this book more than 2 stars is simply because of its great insight into the attitudes and lives of the younger generation then. "

" This is a very quick read.. one day will do it. Very simple story about a young girls summer in NYC in the 1940's working at Tiffany on 5th Ave. It reminded me of my mother's stories while when she worked in Manhattan as a young woman. "

" This is a delightful little book based in New York City 1945. Very light quick read. "

" A very sweet book. Lovely story of two of the first female pages at Tiffany, NYC. It's a quick read and excellent for the beach. "

" Dribble. Can't believe anyone could rate this boring name dropper any higher than 1. If I could I would rate it zero. "

" Fun, easy beach read :) "

" This was a seriously fun book book for the beach--a quick read (I read it in day), cute, and it reminded me of my big summer in NYC almost a decade ago. Thank goodness for good times and good friends! "

" Enjoyable, easy summer read that realy seemed to capture the flavor of the time. "

" Very light read - interesting - but no meat at all. "

" I thought it was horribly written. "

" I've always been drawn to the 1940's and loved to listen to my grandmother tell me stories from back then..........what a fantastic memoir, what a beautiful read!!! I loved every minute of this book!! "

" This book was okay - a very quick read but not too exciting. A story of a college girl's summer working at Tiffany & Co in NYC in the 1940s but not a riveting plot. "

" When I picked up this book I had no idea it was a true story. That made me get even more engaged in the story of the young women spending their summer working at Tiffany. As someone who has always had a little obsession with Tiffany, it was truly a cute and uplifting story. "
