I loved the idea of the book, but I expected a little more from the book. I am a huge fan of the Titanic, but it kind of seemed like the plot didn’t have to play on the Titanic. Only in the end ( when the ship sank) the Titanic actually played a bigger part in the plot. I still had a really fun time reading the book, because who doesn’t love epic women who do epic heists, but it just didn’t feel real enough (if that makes sense?). Sometimes big plot points were solved to quickly and easily. The whole thing also just didn’t really have a 1910’s feel to it. Overall though I enjoyed it and I might reread it in the future. 💗

This was a very weird book experience for me. I thought the concept of a group of teenage girls working together on a high seas heist sounded fun and exciting, but unfortunately somehow not much happens. The characters are all kind of bland and same-y (except that one had this constant low key racist mental monologue going on, which was kind of weird for a character who was clearly meant to be sympathetic) and a lot of things are glossed over. The characters made inexplicable decisions (why would seeing a scary guy heading your way make you decide to get out of the life boat?????) and the use of real people felt borderline disrespectful, particularly matron Wallis (who steals something from one of the girls for no reason) and Phillips.
