It's not a bad book but its not a book I'd normally gravitate towards. If you're into historical romances, its well worth a read!

I loved Brooklyn and didn’t think it needed a sequel, but here we are - the writing was great (as expected) and although the first part was slow, the buildup happened quickly and the ending was surprising.

Eilis is such a great character in both Brooklyn and Long Island. And although I loved him in Brooklyn, I was sad to see how Tony changed in this book.
