Title: The Lullaby of Polish Girls
Author: Dagmara
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Summary: Anna lives in Brooklyn with her Polish parents who emigrated to the States as political refugees when Anna was a little girl. When Anna heads to Poland for the summer to visit her grandmother, she feels like she's discovered a missing piece of herself. That summer she meets Justyna and Kamila and their friendship begins and evolves as the three of them grow up.
Review: This book was short and quick to read, but it just didn't blow me away (especially not after reading The Boston Girl and Big Little Lies). For one, the summary on Amazon calls these girls best friends. I disagree that these girls are best friends. I agree that Anna and Kamila seem to have a connection, but Justyna in particular isn't part of this friendship. She doesn't even seem to really like Anna and Kamila. Point two, the book gets better, but it has a slow start. Three, I just didn't buy that these girls would stay in touch over the years. I'm not saying that friends who drift apart can't come back together. I just wasn't convinced it was going to happen for these three women.
