The Snow Gypsy by Lindsay Jayne Ashford
5.0
A positive outlook on Gypsies
I admit to having my idea of gypsies ruined 4 years ago during a bad experience with a few on a trip to France . . . But I've always liked the idea of Gypsies. Felt a kinship with them because they're treated so terribly - being a woman of color I get that. But they've definitely always been of interest to me. However, this story was awesome. I really liked being able to 1. have a positive outlook on them and 2. Having an intimate look into their past life.
I was able to feel and hurt for both Rose and Lola. Understand both of their need to protect Nieve. Rose's incredible hurt after Zoltan - although I kinda sympathize with him (call me a romantic but I hoped they'd end up together
