A lot of this was not what I expected. It was the first book so there’s a ton of set up for the rest of the series but for me what was frustrating was the plot.
If I have to read another book about how women are badly treated by sexist men I might be violently ill. I am so sick of this narrative, and while this is a historical fiction and more than likely had some accuracy in how Poppy would have been treated in the working world, I am so over that storyline.
Majority of this was about old suffragette’s and I just didn’t care about the story/mystery at all. Maybe I would like another of the books but something tells me we’d get that anyway.
I was bored and the only reason I made it to the end was because I was listening to the audiobook while I drove.
I will say, I liked Poppy and some of the news guys in her office. They were fun and interesting. The writing was fine.
I was pretty disappointed, but thems the breaks I suppose.
