The Second Mrs. Astor by Shana Abé

3.0

I read this book for a book club, I would never choose historical fiction to read for fun. However, reading about the Astors was somewhat interesting - especially the last 25% where they discuss the Titanic. Throughout the whole book I felt so bad for Maddy, she seemed so alone and I’m glad our society has moved past arranged marriages and marrying simply for status.
