I really enjoyed this historical fiction book. It is based on the true character of Hedy Lamarr who famously invented the tech that brings us Wi-do, Bluetooth, and GPS today. While I’m not sure what portions of the story are true, it was quite fascinating! I do feel like it was a little slow in the middle of the storyline then sped up towards the end. I give it a 4.25 as it was quite interesting, had short chapters, and was fairly easy to follow. I look forward to reading more books by Marie Benedict.
