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. 💗
