Ugh guys I don't even know where to start with this review. I guess I should probably start with I buddy read this book with Jen from @bookscoffeechocolate over on Instagram in the last round of the Tome Topple Readathon. If it wasn't for her I probably would have DNFed this book because I wasn't into it at all. I got to a point in the book where the only reason I kept reading it was because I was interested in how things would end with each of the characters.

This book switches between past and present and also switches between a few different characters POV. It felt like it was all over the place and I had a hard time keeping up with how much time was passing by and who was talking. It was all just way to much for me.

I didn't have a connection with any of the characters and like Jen said I just felt detached. The ending seemed rushed to me and I would expect for a book like this to bring out some emotions in me but it didn't.

I did like how descriptive the author was because I was really able to visualize what was being talked about. The only other some what positive thing I can say about this book is that it drew me in just enough for me to want to find out how things worked out for the characters in the end.

Overall this was just an ok read for me but I would say if you like Historical Fiction and you don't struggle with all of the switching back and forth you will probably enjoy this book.
