I really enjoyed this! It was a little slow and not what I was expecting so that’s why I’m not rounding up to a four. I just found the concept very interesting and the different timelines. I’m not going to lie, I did not care about the present timeline because if you know me you know I loathe cheating. I’m so happy she didn’t get back with that man. One part did make me gasp because what an idiot of a man. The ending actually did make me emotional and I teared up a bit.

I enjoyed the parallels between the 2 stories, and would absolutely love if this women’s apothecary was a real historical fact. 

The authors portrayal of the grief & pain that comes from betrayal, or wanting a baby was so real it had me wondering if she’d experienced it first hand. This story had me feeling like I was right there with them listening to their tales of heartbreak, & the exciting thrill of discovery. I felt deeply for these women, almost as if I had known them myself. Now that we’ve come to an end, I don’t quite know what to do with myself.

I really enjoyed this book. This story gave me Eat, Pray, Love vibes with the current day main character taking some time away after a fight with her husband. Additionally, there are mystery thriller vibes from the events in the late 1700s. Kept me engaged and interested through its entirety.
