A Ticket to Ride by Paula McLain

5.0

I completely loved Paula McLain's first novel! A Ticket to Ride is very different from her two historical fiction novels, but is still so gripping, well-plotted, and marked with the beautiful style and excellent characterization that I've come to expect from this author.

A Ticket to Ride is a less sprawling, more focused novel than McLain's other novels. The setting, amount of characters, and length of time the plot covers are fewer and shorter than The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun, which made for very interesting reading. Though this is a darker story about a lonely, unloved girl, somehow I still found Jaimie and Raymond's story hopeful.

When is Paula McLain going to release a fourth novel??
