I have never cried over a book before. Such an enthralling and devastating love story. I am not usually one for history, but the pacing of the story and the historical details blend perfectly. Definitely recommended to everyone.

gonna be real this book was hard to get through. it was kinda fun in the beginning and then it wasnt anymore and it just felt like a chore i need to finish so i put it down and went back to it later. but every time i went back it just still felt like a chore. but i had to return the book to my friend bc i had been keeping it hostage for so long so i finished it bc he really likes the book and i didnt want to say i didnt finish it/like it 😭. Other than that the ending was nice this book is just really slow and it sometimes hard to here about how women are treated in it.
