#bookishthemesong : No Body, No Crime by @taylorswift
.
First of all, thank you so much to @uplitreads and @berkleypub for the #gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.
.
I LOVED this book. Reading historical fiction about a time/place I’m mostly unfamiliar with? Count me in! This book has all the things: an exploration of the meaning of motherhood, mystery & intrigue, a look into female friendship and #womensupportingwomen . So good.
.
I learned so much about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake as well—Susan Meissner did an amazing job weaving in facts without the book ever coming across as dry or dull. You simply must add this one to your TBR 💕
.
I will add, there are a few Content Warnings for miscarriage, infant loss, death, terminal illness, abuse, death of a parent, and infidelity.
