I really enjoyed this book. Being a history nerd myself it's often hard to find YA books with an interesting book and a factually sound background. I was stunned that at the end of this book she had a bibliography! She really did her research! I loved the line, "My friend moved to France because the lighting is better." Because that is a legitimate quote from a French impressionist! There are two things that would make me give this book five stars instead of the 4.3 I currently give. One would be drawings, I find it incredibly ironic that Will says books with pictures to accompany it are more well liked and this books only picture is on the book jacket. Some things I felt needed illustration such as the bath house and Lucy's tailor made gowns. The second benefit to this book would be an epilogue. I want to see her party with the WSPU once the first step is taken to women's voting in 1918 or maybe when it completely finishes in 1928. Otherwise this is a phenomenal book, and I recommend it to any girl having doubts on feminism or any struggling artist or in fact any lover of a good book.

Poorly written book. Great concept. But terribly confusing. Lots of plot holes. Do not read in the dark.

I really loved this book! It's really hard to find a book where the many character is not a. in a love triangle and/or b. Her life changes when she meets a boy. This book had romance but a lot more of it was adventure, in the best way possible. It's been a long time since I have read a good fantasy book where the main character is a girl with depth; she's not just assassin nor girly girl, she's a character with human traits. It also helps that this book has humor with it! So tragic to hear about the authors death, I would have loved to watch her write more.

Ah! Oh my god! So amazing, but at the same time I'm still really upset with Cass! How could she do that?!?!! Make me like someone and then nothing! How rude!
