It was a sheer delight and I enjoyed reading a mature second chance love story. It has one of my favorite subjects and time of the year: British royalty and Winter.

It was just fun, quick read that I would recommend first out of the entire series.

I received an ARC from Edelweiss and Berkly in return for my honest review.

I enjoyed it till Chapter 31 one, and then the story went down tropes I don't like. One of the best friends dies, which forces the main characters to rethink their relationship. Then, the main female character who talks about not having children and about to get a hysterectomy is suddenly pregnant before the operation. The last part of the book was heavy-handed and felt out of place for the characters went against themselves. There wasn't a lot of growth of the characters with the lighting speed of change that was happening to them.

It was okay.

It's three stars because it does mention the Minnesotan classic song, ”The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald.”

An old interview (from 2006) makes it into an excellent book that becomes a Cliff Note/SparkNotes/Wikipedia of the significant highlights of A People's History. I like this because Zinn can (or through the power of editing) be succinct on significant moments in history that is easy to grasp in just a few paragraphs or pages.

If I was teaching High School History is would be the first source, I would look for quick and easy to understand significant events/movements in history to start the topic.

I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.
