What a fantastic debut!! From the diverse cast of characters to women breaking barriers, I was here for everything this book offered. Grace was such an excitable narrator. I loved her passion and independence. She fought so hard for her family, and I admired those qualities. The setting of the pre-built Empire State Building was so cool! I'm sure a lot of research went into that process, and I liked seeing that aspect of history come to life. The friendships and relationships were also so well done. I loved how Grace crossed paths with the Gagliardi's, and how the story kind of felt like found family. I couldn't stop reading; the book was quick, and I could feel my heart beating like crazy after any scene on the steel. I would absolutely read more from Gemma, and I'm excited to see what she'll do next. Thank you to Gallery Books for an ARC to read and review!
