Amy Snow by Tracy Rees
3.0
2.5 stars
Amy Snow is a mildly entertaining story about a young English girl named Aurelia Vennaway in the 1840’s who finds a baby (Amy Snow) and brings it home to her wealthy family to raise. Although eight years apart and from different classes, the two develop a close relationship. Aurelia’s parents abhor the relationship and are incredibly nasty to Amy. Aurelia becomes sick in her 20’s, dies and leaves a scavenger hunt for Amy to follow. While it is an interesting idea, I felt it was pretty slow moving. Moreover, several parts of the story seemed unrealistic and the ending a bit unsatisfactory.
Thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
