The Poppy and the Rose by Ashlee Cowles
4.0

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of The Poppy and the Rose! On paper, this book was actually written for me - YA, stories of The Titanic, mystery, and time travel elements. Can we also talk about this amazing cover?!?

I really enjoyed reading the two perspectives - one of Taylor, studying in England in 2010 and one of Ava, who was on board the Titanic. It kept me guessing the entire time how they were connected and I really enjoyed the Titanic elements!

Where I thought this booked lacked was how much was packed into the book. I felt at times I had to write notes to keep track of the characters and intertwined timelines. Other than that, I rate this as a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5! I highly recommend for those who enjoy classic mystery tropes and stories about the Titanic.
