Wow. What to say about this book? It had potential.
It missed. I'm not going to lie but I was suspicious that the author was a pen name for a male who really hated women. It looks like that is not the case. Based on the narrow stereotypes that the female characters fit (including Nora, the exception to the rule, the special girl who stood out among the "whores" of her time period) I'd still say the author hates women.
Joe is one of the most misogynistic and toxic love interests I've crossed in a while but he is written sympathetically. Like as a reader I see he is a pos but the author doesn't see him that way.
The plot and how Nora got stuck seemed like there were multiple ideas and rather than deciding on a path for the story, a couple got thrown together to "make it work". It didn't.
And the ending. Gag. Don't waste your time.
