5.0

This is probably my favorite historical fiction book that I've read in the past two or three years. The story was engaging. I loved the balance of the present-day story to the story in the past. I thought the dual timeline was balanced well. I loved the descriptive details without being over the top details that were redundant and not needed. This is a well-detailed book without being detail for the sake of detail vs detail with purpose which can be difficult to balance. The characters were fun to read about and easy to connect to. You end the book feeling like you've met them in real life.
