I really enjoyed this, but I can’t place my finger on what’s missing for me to make it five stars. It makes me incredibly sad to not ever know what actually happened to Gabion or Camellia, even though that’s a realistic outcome. I think I would have preferred if the story focused solely on Mae and Judy and not Avery as well. In general, I did enjoy this though. I’m not usually a historical fiction person, but I wasn’t bored with this at all, and it did make me want to learn more about the events that inspired it.
