I am so sad this is considered historically fiction when I grew up in the 80s. We have Zippy who works as a commissioned sales person at a high end department store. 

This is a story a coming of age story, Zippy's worry about her family, her relationship with her father and toxic work environment. 

I love all the 80s references from the shows to the brands that were popular then. With the AIDS epidemic in the 80s, this was lightly touched and thought it could've been delved deeper. 

The story was a fun flash back but none of the side characters had much depth. 

Caitlin Kinnunen did a good job with the narration. I could feel her innocence and her struggles.
