Okay y'all were right! 

This was a great book. I loved everything about it. I adored all of the characters and how they all had something different going on and wanted different things out of life. And how apparently the adults are terrible about matching their kids with people. 

I am glad to know there will be more because there is still so much we need to know!

A Bridgerton-esk historical romance based in a local Chicago setting.

What a fantastic debut. The stories in The Davenports are so strong. 
 While I had some trouble following 4 different points of view, I did adore each character and their unique struggles. This is the kind of book that has a character for everyone to relate to. 
 I'm particularly drawn to Ruby's story and am so interested in reading about her future. 
 One thing to note when going into this book is that because it's about 4 different characters, the book feels like a lot of set up. However, that just means that the next book will be even more jam-packed, and I can't wait for it! 

Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for the digital ARC.

Normalize a romance where the conflict isn't from miscommunication.
