danadoesbooks 's review for:

The Glorious Guinness Girls by Emily Hourican
medium-paced

Thank you Grand Central and NetGalley for the gifted copy of The Glorious Guinness Girls!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I loved the dual timeline in the beginning of the story and how there was this big secret that Felicity must try to hide.  However, I feel like the second half of the book lost this thread.  It stopped switching between timelines as often and focused more on the girls growing up in society.  I would have liked to see the secret be more dramatic in the current time period than how it eventually turns out.

That being said, I'm still curious about the sequel, Mummy Darlings, and how the girls are faring later in life!
