4.5/5

I expected to enjoy this book but not nearly as much as I did! The two timelines were written so well! I loved both of the perspectives but I am honestly most impressed that their pacing was similar so at no point was I annoyed at the modern-day timeline was slower or faster than the historical! A lot of books with more than one POV suffer from that but not this one!

I will forever want to punch the modern-day character's dirtbag of a husband. I detested him and I wish that character would have stood up for herself more or maybe had an epilogue to show her after everything happens in this book where she...develops into who she wanted to be after getting a degree or a job or...something like that.

Thank you to the publisher for approving me for the eAudiobook ARC on NetGalley
