4.5 ⭐️ I absolutely loved this book! Martha was the baddest biotch FMC and I loved her. She took no one’s BS and I feel like for that time period, that was unheard of from a woman. I felt like the characters were so complex and the story was so streamlined. I also appreciated how when certain characters names were brought up again, it usually included some back story from a previous chapters to kind of “remind” you who they were seeing as that there were a LOT of characters in this book. The story was fantastic and I appreciated reading something I normally don’t usually read about.
