Well, I am branching out into different areas of books in the historical fiction. Genre, I need to be more careful in what I choose to read. This was a slow plotting through the pages, which made it very difficult for me to become invested in the story or the characters. And I am not a big supporter of feminism for the sake of feminism. By the time I had explored the pages, I was left wanting more. The subject matter had potential, but it was disappointing. Thank you to NetGa

I love reading historical fiction books and really enjoyed learning about the Harvey Girls. The characters are well developed and I loved getting to know Billie and Charlotte. I had never heard of the waitresses who served at America’s first hospitality chain along the Santa Fe railroad. The adventures you get to experience as the girls are trained to the people they meet along the way to the various locations they work ... you will be drawn into the story and learn to much a

I had no idea what I expected when I opened this book and began to read. I initially did not realize it was a young adult book. And, though I'm not the target audience, I love the story!

If the “incident” was something worth discovering by the time I slogged through to the end, it might have redeemed itself. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I gave this one an extra star because it took place in Ireland. Thank you to NetGalley and Vintage for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own. Fo

This is an emotional read and when you open up the book and begin to get lost in Michael’s story, you need to be prepared for some heavy topics. From body shaming to drug and alcohol addiction to child neglect to cancer to loss of life ... they will have you shedding a few tears along the way. I enjoyed the dual timeline aspect of the story. Being able to experience Michael’s childhood during and after the horrendous accident gives a glimpse into how his past has scarred him
