Promising, but Cliche
This book had a lot of promise in the beginning. Highly believable characters that were well thought out. Scenarios that we know existed from any basic US History class. Yet, as I kept reading, Vera's life just became more and more over the top until it felt laughable. Marianne's character...like c'mon...I know plenty of children of sex workers and their reactions aren't like that. Children aren't stupid. But anyway, unfortunately I was rushing through the book, no longer invested or interested in ANY of these characters. The author has promise, but I feel she must work on her pacing. It all became very rushed and cramped.
