A review by kalliste
A Transcontinental Affair by Jodi Daynard
2.0
The blurb for this book might be the most exciting part of it. The actual story is anything but exciting.
That said, I did enjoy the descriptions of the places and the countryside the train went through.
I was surprised by the insta-love that occurred after one whiff of perfume, though if I were a woman in the 1800s I probably wouldn't be interested in men either.
I was hoping Hattie would befriend Julia, as she seemed the most interesting character on the train, but it wasn't to be. At least not to a level where we actually knew anything about her.
By the end, I was eye-rolling at every new obstacle that occurred and was glad when this slow-going train trip was finally over.
