As a fan of both women's and medical history, I was so excited to read this book!
Hazel was really a character you could feel for and with — she's got her goals and she's trying so hard to get to them but the world around always makes that harder. She gets frustrated, she makes stupid decisions but it's all really understandable.
I wasn't really feeling the romance — I liked the characters individually but I didn't see enough chemistry between them. I don't like how their story ended, which is one of my few complaints. I was happy enough, though, to ignore the romantic aspects, as long as I got my history 😉
The ending was a bit rushed imo, there were just too many conclusions in to little time, which is why this isn't a clean 4 stars.
P.S.: The audiobook was amazing, so if you can, please listen to it!
