The Last Woman Standing by Thelma Adams
2.0
This book wasn't for me. I liked the concept of the book, but found the actual reading of it quite laborious. The portions of the book I preferred were the parts in which Josephine was home with her family in San Francisco, which doesn't bode well for a book that is telling the story focused on her time in Tombstone instead.
I just felt that the Tombstone section of the book moved very slowly. I didn't ever really feel any connection to Josephine, and other than Albert & Mollie, I didn't like any of the other people in Tombstone---even the Earps. So for me a huge part of the book just dragged along, and my reading dragged along with it, as I was always setting the book aside.
Ultimately I found the dynamics between her parents & siblings to be the only portion of the book i was truly invested in. Her father was lovely, and I enjoyed the segment when we heard more of his backstory. I was disappointed by how soon that part of the story ended.
