jsant 's review for:

The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.5
emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Historical fiction with some magical realism (telekinesis) taking place in France in the early 1900s. Love, betrayal, society expectations and all that comes with it. It was written well, but I didn't connect much with the main characters. I also wish the telekinesis was explained some how, or there was more acknowledgmentof the magical realism part of the story.
