The Half-Life of Ruby Fielding by Lydia Kang
2.0
The Half-Life of Ruby Fielding by Lydia Kang is a historical mystery in wartime, Brooklyn.
This wasn't a bad story, you see, I did manage to finish it, didn't I? Just wasn't my cup of tea.
Will and Maggie Scripps are siblings has quiet lives. Will secretly scouts for the Manhattan Project and Maggie is working at the Navy Yard. She seems to be coping with the loss of her mother by secretly writing letters to her.
Their routine change by finding a beautiful woman in their yard, hurt and scared. This stranger with hidden past and an obsession with poisons and killing small creatures.
There is news of spies in the world’s first atomic bomb, Will and Maggie begin to suspect she’s quite dangerous and both ridiculously fall in love with her.
but this one didn't quite hit the mark for me. The beginning was promising, and the plot started off strong, but I was let down by the unbelievable and underdeveloped characters and unrealistic and fake relationships.
My personal disappointment don't make yours!
