His Lady in Hiding by Jen Geigle Johnson
My favorite part of this book had to be the research. Jen always does a fantastic job with that, and this one was especially interesting because you got to experience 1800 England and America, plus life on a boat! It was a very unique and creative storyline, and I really enjoyed that.
Liz was a wonderful character. She was steadfast in her convictions and just a very genuine person. But she was also flawed and relatable. It was fun to see her attempts at being a servant, and as the reader you totally cheer for her with all her little and big wins. So many of the secondary characters were SO well developed as well. I particularly liked the preacher and Liz's fellow servants.
Lord Barton was a well-made character, but he was also the only part of the book that I didn't LOVE. He was likeable, and had some really great moments, but he also made some really dumb choices that drove me crazy! For that reason, he was more relatable, but I also felt like he didn't totally deserve Liz ;)
Another great one from Jen, I'll definitely be reading more of hers!
