I enjoyed this one! It wasn’t what I was expecting, it’s a more lighter tone than most of her other books which I appreciated. I loved the New Orleans setting. I loved Josie as a main character and her strength and character. I loved the found family aspect in this that was my favorite part. It was interesting to see this time period and the topic of prostitution.

Not my usual. Thought the dialogue was a bit cheesy and unnatural at times, but couldn't put it down and finished it in two days.
