2.5 stars- rounded down since Goodreads doesn’t have 1/2 stars. I feel like Ms. Quinn wasn’t sure if she wanted this to be historical fiction, a mystery, or a romance so she threw a bit of everything into it. The book is told by two different point of views, one taking place in 1915 and the other taking place in 1947. I could have done without the 1947 storyline because the 1915 one was fascinating while the 1947 one felt forced, as though written just to help move the story.
Normally when I read historical fiction I do research on the side but I wasn’t sure how accurate this was so this time I waited until I finished it. The 1915 storyline is based on a true person but oddly enough that person is a secondary character. This book could have been great but there is just so much filler that ruins it.
