While I don't usually read historical fiction, I enjoyed Wild Women and the Blues. The characters were complex and flawed, and I really liked that. Sawyer's character development was on point, and seeing Honoree's reactions felt real. Sawyer and Honoree had distinct voices, which I really liked. The twists and turn of the plot were handled excellently, although I would've liked a little more foreshadowing with the fact that the "Honoree" in the facility was actually Bessie . The two timelines also felt disconnected for most of the book. But overall, this was a great book!
