OVERVIEW
First off, I recall reading this book when it first came out as an ARC in 2019, but I didn't review it on Goodreads or NetGalley. Weird! So I am reviewing it as a first-time read! But it was worth reading a second time so you can probably predict my review!
REVIEW: 4.0
stars
Writing:
4.5 stars
Nicola
Harrison writes beautiful and descriptive prose that helps you visualize each
scene of her books without getting bogged down. It is very easy to read, but so
enjoyable to read!
Character development: 4.5 stars
The
characters were interesting and fascinating! There were the "poor" rich ladies
who left Manhattan for the summer and their husbands who only visited on the
weekends. But in contrast, there were also the "rich" poor local workers
who have beautiful friendships, families, and lives.
Storyline: 4.5 stars
The
interaction between all of the characters both city and local proved that being
monetarily rich doesn't make one happy. The finale of the book was so well done
that it will stay with me for a long time!
Book cover: 5.0 stars
Absolutely
perfect - especially the blue dress against the sepia background!
Gut feeling: 4.5 stars
Not at
all what I expected, but exactly what I enjoy - historical fiction!!
Definite RECOMMEND
