i really enjoyed this! i liked how fast pace it was, but the characters occasionally did things that annoyed me
emotional informative mysterious medium-paced
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

stalking jack the ripper: 3.75/5
hunting prince dracula: 4.25/5
escaping from houdini: 3.5/5. i hate love triangles + the ending left me unsatisfied
capturing the devil: 4.5/5
challenging slow-paced

this was just not it. i learned a tiny bit but not as much as i wanted to. it glossed over jefferson’s slaves & his relationship with sally, it didnt do a good job of explaining his political rivalries, it was too biased, and it was booooooring
informative fast-paced

i learned a good amount, but i feel like this left out some key things about certain people, it had a lot of typos/mistakes, and i wish it talked about more women that acted as first lady but weren’t married to the president. it did talk about harriet lane, but i wanted it to discuss grover cleveland’s sister!!!
emotional lighthearted fast-paced

i liked this, and i thought the epilogue was really good, but i wanted a little bit more out of the actual last chapter and i wasn’t obsessed with the conflict(s)

i enjoyed this, but i wanted there to be more emphasis on david's rejection of his former prejudice, and i wanted to see more of mary's personality.

this was so sweet and fun! i wish there had been a bigger declaration of love as well as more groveling for any pain (both physical or emotional) that he caused her throughout the book
