A review by sarah_reading_party
Mistress of the Ritz by Melanie Benjamin

4.0

this book is as sweet as a world war II novel can be. i loved thinking of how a place, like the ritz, was used during the war as survival for so many people. though this book did have chicklit elements, i love the deep characterization throughout this book and how ultimately blanche was much more than she seemed. it's fun that this book had some true life elements to it as well!
