This book had so much potential but it didn’t hit the 5 star mark for me. The characters felt underdeveloped, and the romance felt very instalovey, considering were supposed to believe Grace and Henry hate each other (or strongly dislike each other) for a period of time. It also felt like [a: Amy Trueblood|6571327|Amy Trueblood|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1500938632p2/6571327.jpg] was adding in 1920s pop culture references, and real life people from the early 20s, to make it seem like she knew all about the 20s as a time period. It felt like she was adding in things just because.


But I did enjoy Grace as a character, and Henry too. The found family aspect was good, and even though the romance was instalovey it was still cute (I’ll admit it begrudgingly). I think what this book needed was 100 to 200 more pages of development and fillers (usually fillers in books is bad, but this book needs it) and it would have definitely been a 5 star book for me.


I did have a fun time reading this though, and it was a pretty good historical fiction so if your looking for one to read, this one has a found family aspect, a cute romance, and a head strong main character.


You know what did hit the 5 star mark for me though. THIS BEAUTIFUL COVER
