After suffering through a tragic event and moving to San Francisco, Autumn finds herself meeting an elderly woman named Marisol who changes her perspective on life, love and everything in between by teaching her how to be a real Flapper.

Autumn has just moved to San Francisco and is trying to put her past behind her. One day in the mail she receives a letter from an older lady.

My Thoughts:
This debut novel is a delightful read for the holidays. I love how she included Christmas and Thanksgiving as events in the novel. There is a mix of humor with a dash of sadness that brings about a great story. Readers who liked Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella will love this novel!
She does a great job with research and defining what a flapper is. I learned a little about the slang of the twenties. In some way I think this made the characters more memorable. I did lose interest in some parts but Ms. Smith did a great job of bringing me back into the story. I also know that we can plan to see more from her in the future. I can’t wait to see what the next chapter will bring!

Lessons In Being A Flapper eBook Angela Smith Reviews
A fun, entertaining tale in which the main character finds her life being guided by her late grandfather via a flamboyant and eccentric medium who is old enough to remember the 1920s. I very much like the author's 'voice' - she involves the reader in the story as if she's chatting to you. I suspect some of the story line is based on the author's own experience - her writing style sharpens up considerably at certain points in the story, and demonstrates her potential as she gains confidence in novel-writing. Unrealistic? Yes - but if you want realistic, watch the news. For myself, I enjoy the occasional daydream, and this is a lovely one.
I loved this book so much ~ I got drawn into the story within the first couple of pages and loved the characters to the point that reading this took over my life !! It's funny ... sad ... generally everything you'd want in a book. It's not too long so would be perfect for a holiday read but it's long enough so you feel you can get to know the characters.
I have to admit I was caught shouting at my a few times .... not great if you're reading it on your lunch break or on public transport!!
If I can only influence you to read one book from my reviews I ask that you please give this one a go -)
I can't wait for Angela's next book ~ hope she's started writing one already!
Cute premise but inconsistencies in storyline, dialogue, and a tendency to ramble where not important, and skip where important. Unrealistic job premise with no evidence of what she does or did or can do....dangling evil spirits with no resolution...Will not be getting next book
I love this book very enjoyable and hard to put down, definitely would recommend to read.
Love the characters, great story line
I wanted to like this book, but the storyline seemed manic. there was way too much going on and it didn't seem believable.
Author needs some help with her writing, although it's clear she has some talent. The story meanders and I never managed to care what happened to this ill-defined central character as she limps along in completely unrealistic scenes. It was also disconcerting to find so many British terms coming from a supposedly US character (queue instead of getting in line, bloody as an expletive, etc.). There were too many things just falling magically into place this is daydream stuff. Not completely hopeless, but I'd recommend the writer get some serious help in crafting a compelling novel before her next attempt. She needn't necessarily leave the character behind, but she needs to become more realistically human for most readers to care.
Incredible read don't be fooled by the name you will so enjoy this book and learn cute funny names back in the day it is old time vs Modern there is romance, nice fancy clothes, & an awesome tale to this book a must read for sure. You will love it.
First time reading one of Angela's books and I loved it so much. Has such much in this book.
Thanks
