brittaknee's review
I couldn’t connect to the main character or any real plot. It felt like a modern feminists view of what feminism would have been in the Guided Age, but perhaps not what the forward thinking women of the time would have been concerned with.

Thank you NetGalley & publisher for this eARC.
This was an easy reading but I felt like I would not mark this book as a His-fic genre, more to probably a holiday read or beach read. This book although it is an easy read, but there the pace was slow then peak then slow so which is why I took me awhile to finish this book. Nonetheless this book is recommended to all who intends to be a writer. Still, I give this a four star because of the scene in the court.
P/S: this book was also inspired by pen-name Gail Thompson in 1867, as mentioned in acknowledgement.

This book is quite good, and I enjoyed the premise and the concept of the book. Having an author in a book is something I would always love to read! We get to see the struggle of the author, how they got take advantaged by the company etc. Whilst the book is enjoyable, I also find some part is quite boring and hard to get into. Overall, I would highly recommend it to any historical fiction fans!

Yet another book that started out strong but I lost interest about halfway through. I just wasn't drawn to the characters or the story. Dnf'd. 3 ⭐.
