What a delightful quick read!
This book is a great take on historical fiction, it discusses difficult topics such as racism, segregation, and even how the suffragist movement in the US was racist with a hopeful but truthful lens.
The main character, Jo, is strong and determined. I loved her so much! I really hope we get a sequel so we can know what happened with Miss Sweetie.
