A nice light and easy read, and overall just okay book. At first I wasn't sure if I was even going to finish it because the beginning was pretty cheesy, but then I became more interested in where the story was going. There's a somewhat unexpected plot twist near the end that keeps things interesting. I did enjoy the anti capitalist, pro labor and pro union undertones throughout the book. I was hoping the romance aspect of the book would be between Margery and Alice but sadly it was very traditional. Overall an enjoyable book to read while in the bath that is very surface level.

This book was an enjoyable historical fiction that was read for the Weekly Drip Book Club! It was a bit slow at the start for myself, but the mix of drama and romance was a fun read.

I really enjoyed this book and love Jojo's writing from before and this is no different. The amazing ladies in this book are just pure joy! I listen to it and the voice is wonderful for this setting as well. I couldn't wait to drive just to get to finish it so that should tell you something. I didn't know about the pack horse Library and need to dig a little deeper into and it sounds so amazing and wish more was known.
