cocorsocasiano 's review for:
The Second Mrs. Astor
by Shana Abé
Heavvvvvvy on the historical fiction here. I feel like Abé does a fine job of dropping us instantly into the period of the piece. The descriptions had my mind seeing everything so clearly. I do feel like any dialogue between Jack and Madeleine was rushed or almost not enough!! The age was obviously so insane that it almost didn’t matter lol but they were freaks back then I guess? Even knowing what the ending is (spoiler alert the Titanic sunk) I found myself hoping for something different. I really do wonder what her life would’ve been like had Jack survived. Gah it’s heartbreaking but overall a great read for any history nerds out there hehe!
