4.0

You could really tell the author did her research. This novel is dripping with the texture of midcentury New Orleans. The storylines are very compelling and all the different characters dealing with their own situations create a really interesting tapestry. There are a lot of different avenues this book travels down, so if you’re looking for a tight plot and singularly constructed storyline, this might not be for you, but I found it compelling. Protagonist Josie  seems a little too perfect to me sometimes, but I liked the book overall very much.
