A Real Somebody by Deryn Collier, Deryn Collier

4.0

The fact that this story is based on the life of a real woman lends added weight to this tale of a woman determined to come into her own in a time period where a woman doing so was a very steep uphill climb. The author did a great job of putting us squarely in June’s shoes: seeing what she saw, experiencing what she experienced, feeling what she felt. All the hope and frustration and expectations.

I enjoyed this book and could definitely identify with June’s desire to go against the grain.

Thank you Deryn Collier, Lake Union Publishing, and NetGalley for providing this ARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.
