When asked about my favorite genres to read, I never say historical fiction. Why? I have been subjected to too many bad historical fiction novels that I try to keep as much distance between them and myself. With that being said, The Lost Apothecary makes me want to give this genre a second chance. This title is told through dual narratives, one in the present day and one in the 1700s. Both stories take place in London and both narrators have been betrayed by a man in their lives (this is crucial information to know because it directly correlates to the characters' actions in this book). Like other similarly structured stories, I did favor one storyline more than the other, but I would still recommend picking up this title! Sidenote: Can we talk about how beautiful this cover is??
