There were some parts of the story that really shined, but to me the romance subplot felt like a distraction from the biography plot instead of aiding it…..although once you read the end Hayden’s presence makes more sense. 
Hayden and Alice did have cute moments, but I wasn’t invested in them as much as other EH couples, maybe because I wanted to constantly get back to Margaret’s story.

I’d heard this book was similar to Evelyn Hugo, and the more I read the more it felt like we were tap dancing up to the line of plagiarism- I won’t say it got crossed but I am uncomfortable with the amount of similarities
