I still enjoyed these siblings. But not as much as book 1. I will definitely read more from this author.

I'm glad to see some of the conflicts in the first book resolved in this one!
I love all books based in the early 1900s and in my beloved city, Chicago! This book focuses on young Black women trying to navigate the world while balancing their interests, their parents' expectations, and romantic relationships.
What excited me the most were the things that each girl (Olivia, Helen, Ruby, and Amy-Rose) wanted to do with their spare time and their ambitions! It was exciting to see their dreams come true in this book!
Would recommend to everyone. It's a bit slice of life, historical fiction, and a bit of romance (well maybe a lot).

I really enjoyed being back in this world. Early 20th century Chicago is such a vibe and I love these characters so much. I love the that Amy Rose was able to make her dreams come true, I love that Ruby and Harrison are so committed to each other. I will say that I found that each female character seemed to all of a sudden be torn between different suitors and I found that a bit much in one book, i think if it was only one experiencing this it would have felt more authentic. But all in all, I love the Davenports, I loved Helen and John's scenes working on their automobile and it was such a sweet ending for all these characters!
still not a fan of 4 povs. i wish each character had their own book
