Last Dance on the Starlight Pier by Sarah Bird
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
I had a really hard time staying interested in this story. I LOVE historical fiction and I know they can sometimes be slow to start in order to relay necessary background to the reader, but after 82pgs there was no picking up the pace for me.
I did not connect to the characters at all, did not find myself really caring where the story went. I was just….bored. Every time I picked it up it was feeling like a chore and I had no desire to continue reading to find out where the story was going to go. I also found the scene when Evie was young and had to go on stage in skimpy clothes disturbing and I don’t want to read scenes like that.
Thank you to St Martins Press, Sarah Bird, and NetGalley for a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.
