I enjoyed this first installment of the series immensely, and was especially struck, having just completed Lizette M. Edholm's Merriweather Girls series, by the fact that the "Blythe Girls" must all find employment of one kind or another. The struggle for survival is nicely balanced with the expanding social lives of the girls - the friends they make, and the possible romantic interests that develop. There is little depth here, and the narrative runs happily along at the surface level. But the story was entertaining for all that, and left me wanting to know what happened next. Sadly, the books in this series can be rather difficult to obtain.
Addendum: Having now amassed the first five titles in The Blythe Girls series, I decided to revisit this initial entry before continuing on with the subsequent volumes. I enjoyed it just as much on this second reading, and was particularly charmed by its portrayal of living and working in New York City, now that I am doing so as well. Reading about Helen, Margy and Rose hopping on and off subways, as I myself rode the subway to work, had definite appeal. Recommended to readers interested in vintage girls' series, particularly if they are also interested in girls who must earn their living in the world. ( )
