A review by bowienerd_82
Mrs. Mike by Benedict Freedman, Nancy Freedman
3.0
This is another one of those books I wish I'd read as an adolescent instead of as an adult- it reminded me a good bit of [b:Christy|229123|Christy|Catherine Marshall|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1389406901s/229123.jpg|3158544], which was a favorite of mine when I was 13- but there were a number of elements that kept me from getting particularly sucked in.
I know this book was written in the 40s and set even earlier, but the race issues throughout the book made me deeply uncomfortable, and some of the gender issues weren't much better.
I also found the tone of the book a bit abrupt, and lacking in smooth transitions, making it feel rather uneven.
Despite the various flaws, I still found it charming in parts, and an easy read.
