*First Jenoff read. --> I wanted to love this one so bad...but something feels slightly off-kilter about it. I wasn't really ever genuinely invested - and was often frustrated by the characters' motivations (while I get why they felt the way they felt). Interesting read that spurred research into Vera Atkins though!
