kebyrne2 's review for:

The Second Mrs. Astor by Shana Abé
3.0
emotional relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This was a very gripping true story. I loved the details of their love, the press, the struggles and just growing up in tragedy. 

The author does a good job about bringing this story to live and getting people to think about the titanic some more. 

I wish we had more of what Mrs. Astor did after she became a widow.
