ALL HAIL MURRAY!
This was FANTASTIC and will easily be one of my favorite historical fiction books this year! I have seen a lot of people stepping into this book thinking that it is a historical romance and while I will say that the "romance" is prevalent, I think people are missing the messaging in this book. It is SO MUCH MORE. To see Jessie not only step into a world that wants nothing but to see her fail, but then to also see her step into HERSELF was so powerful.
I loooooved all of the historical elements as well. I feel like I learned so much and it was 5/5 baby!
Definitely recommend.
