I lost the copy I was reading so I'm going to need to find that first.
3.5/5 stars
Update: I found my copy. I didn't remember when I left off so I just read it all over again. I decided to round it up because, through the majority of the book, I was thinking it was a 4-star read. There were certain parts in which I had to skim simply because I felt like I was not missing much. This happened when the book didn't focus on her life. Unfortunately for me, this meant I had little interest in who Monique was, so I didn't really try to figure out why she was chosen at all to be the one to tell Evelyn's story.
I was surprised to find out that this also falls into the category of historical fiction. I haven't really delved into the genre as much as I thought I had.
Overall, this is a book that I believe lives up to it's hype. Had I been more interested in Monique, this would have been a 5-star read.
