A historical fiction that had the time period and a city that I could read over and over again, but fell short for me. Chicago is a city that feels like it doesn't get as much press as New York City, so I love to read fiction set in it as it is almost like a refreshing drink.
The part that fell flat for me was the secretiveness of the lesbian storyline and the pieces that I wish had been a little more obvious in the beginning. The women that were helping Naomi raise Sophia were from her childhood and the reader didn't get their full stories until too late in the game to appreciate their roles in Sophia's upbringing. I wish the reader had gotten a little more of that earlier in the book.
