My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story took me on a long long journey. Part of the time I wondered why? It just seemed like I was watching the daily lives of these people. I was struggling to keep turning pages. Then it started to pick up more than half way through the book. The ending all twisty and full of who dunnits.

The characters are a plenty. We the the MC and a few secondary then many on the outskirts. Some I enjoyed, others I couldn’t stand then there are those that impress me with their about-face. I know times were different back then. But what poor Emily had to put up with from well…really everyone is outlandish. Favorite character would be Emily for her strength to overcome and endure everyone around her.

Overall this is an okay story…closer to the end. The parties and day to day living really didn’t further the story in the book so I could have passed on some of those. The beginning though was well done and drew my interest into the story. The slower pace of the story just isn’t for me. The characters seemed well done and the excitement at the end was well done
