📚 There are so many wonderful details, from each neighbor's life story to the look of the buildings they live in.
📚 Cole weaves in so much actual history, too. She includes a list of resources at the end, lest a reader think this story is entirely fabricated.
📚 As much as I love Cole's romance novels, I could have done without the romantic thread in this book. It didn't really seem to add much.
