The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
5.0
The one phrase that was a constant thought in my head was "This book is one of a kind."
I don't even know where to begin while writing this, trying to come up with words to justify this book, to do the best job I can to say how much I enjoyed it. It's one of those books that keeps you thinking for a long while afterwards, you start to dissect the characters, tell yourself why they did such a thing, how they grew, how unbelievable it was when they did what they did.
This isn't my usual style of book, but venturing out is something I enjoy doing. The cover says that it is "a book about manners" and that is skimming the top of what it is. It is so much more, so many moral lessons about oneself and others, and it just goes to show how different two people can truly be and how someone will stop at nothing to get what they want.
This book kept me on my toes from the very beginning, it was very interesting and entertaining throughout and the characters had so much life and personality by the time you start to really know them. It caused a full roller coaster of emotions, feeling sad, and angry and excited and happy, scared, etc.
I haven't previously read any books from this author, so I went in with no preconceived notions on the writing or story, but from this book, I really enjoy their writing style and their characters. And I think many historical romance fans will also enjoy this book very much!
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for the earc in return for an honest review.
