This was a fantastic and funny read. I love this era. Bandbox is the story of a magazine that was on the rise after being for the somewhat "lavender" crowd for a bit. It is the story of the 20's, the Jazz Age, flappers and the mob, romance and fun times. Parties and clothes were high on the list for this crowd. Stepping into this world for just a few pages was glorious. I loved the novel and the place's it took me, i liked the feel i was left with when the story was over. I'm glad i got to visit the 20's thru this novel.
