bookedbymadeline's review against another edition
I was pulled in at first but slowly began to lose interest. All the historical details and name dropping has gotten so tedious and annoying that it ends up lacking in character development. The pacing also felt off with the amount of historical tidbits shoved in.
I’m just not intrigued enough to continue, the novel just okay. Not vibing with the writing style and the incident of the titanic sinking happens so quickly, by chapter 2 or 3 of Violet’s POV. Sadly a DNF but I have no doubt others will love this story
