This book was so much better than I was expecting! Tense, emotional, and surprisingly endearing. The main character was wonderful to get to know, and the main cast felt so alive. One of my favorite books this year and I can’t wait to read the next.

This was a beautiful story about friendship and loyalty. It was funny in places and heartbreaking in others. The language made it seem so real and the characters were so rich and complex. 

A lovely story and I can't wait to read the second book.

Loved the characters and the authors style. She did loads of research into a real brothel of Pompeii and tied her findings into the scenes, writings on the wall, and characters. I liked that the book wasn’t too dark or depressing but still told the stories of these women and how the author believes they must have coped with their lives. These is humor, struggle, loss, and hope.

I’m a sucker for historical fiction and this book’s premise was really interesting. I practically read it in two sittings because it's well-written and easy to read. However, given the fact that this is a character-driven book, I felt that most, if not all, of the characters lacked any depth or dimension to them. With that said, I’ll still be reading the sequel ☺️
