The Rebel Wife by Taylor M. Polites
4.0
At first, this book was kind of weird, how I didn't even know who the narrator was until like 10 pages in, and even then I was still a little lost. The story seemed like it jumped around a bit. I wasn't a fan of Gus as I felt she was pretty repetitive and sort of dull sounding (not in the stupid sense, in the boring sense).
Gus found out the hard way on who she can trust and who she can't as her world was turned upside down when Eli died. No one is who they seem anymore. Now poor as dirt and a hunt for unknown money lost, she finds an ally in who she really shouldn't for it being post Civil War in the South. Those she was basically trusting her life with were playing with her long before any of this happened.
I enjoyed the fast pace of the ending where I saw Gus do something I thought she would never do. It finished the story out well.
