A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood
4.0

4.5 | The perfect summer read

This book is wonderful. It took me to a whole new world as much as it took “Lou” and I fell in love. It was exciting, mysterious, lovely and daring.
It was beautiful seeing Lou getting to know herself, life and the world outside her wonderful bubble — all the good and bad things in it, because life is full of ups and downs and this book showed it all and well. It told the reader that even the furtunate ones suffer and that all the money in the world can’t buy real happiness.
Lou struggled with knowing what she wanted for her life and herself and it was so important to see her get to the point where she was able to find her dream and “run” after it (and the support from her family was everything to me). Lou needed to discover herself and the summer of 1929 was it for her. The romance was short but at the end it was all worth it.
So this was a beautiful summer reading, full of glamour, extravaganza and all the things you hope from an exiting and romantic summer read.
