This book was a struggle for me, made more obvious by the fact that is took over 3 months for me to finish it. I can't pinpoint anything specifically other than the fact that I was generally uninterested the whole time. I anticipated 1920's Shanghai to be a hit with me but it didn't come into play very much. The Roma-Juliette relationship was rather lackluster, the plot was repetitive. I eventually switched to an audiobook about halfway through and that wasn't much better. A swing and a miss for me unfortunately. 

Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the e-arc!
