The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman
4.0
I really like stories with multiple points of view and in multiple times, but it can be hard to do it well. Richman nailed it. Sometimes when only one is in the first person, it can be hard to connect with the other. I like that the plot was heavier on the third person narrative early on, which I think helps you connect with both.
I think my favorite thing is that Richmond wrote this based on a real-life story with very few details. According to the author's note, Richmond found an article with the bones of this story. She wondered about the details and so she wrote them herself. She really made the characters come alive.
