I received a galley of this book through Netgalley  >/i>
This book has a content warning for racism.

I don't really know how to explain how I feel about this book. The only thing I can say is that I just didn't care. Whenever something significant would happen to our characters I just didn't care. I also just didn't like the way the story went a couple of times. There were some more interesting things introduces that could have been explored futher. I haven't read anything set in this time though and I really liked how it explored the time period it was set in. In the end I also think some characters didn't really get a proper resolution and I think this is one of the few books where an epilogue set a couple of months later would have beneficial. My main gripe with this book was the romance that was all of the sudden thrown on us out of nowhere. Like why was that nececary. I don't get it. I would still recommend this book though because it was very interesting and had a great set of characters but I just think this book wasn't for me.
