panMeh. Admittedly, this isn't my kind of historical fiction at all, but I had a hard time caring about any of the historical sections and the dialogue at times read like the characters were quoting from a history book. It was heavy-handed in many ways, and I enjoyed the author's note much more than the rest of the book. I suspect that Lisa Wingate isn't an author for me.

Butterfinger I wasn't a fan of the duel timelines of Before We Were Yours. Although, I learned some unknown history. I don't like that style of writing. Give me a huge family epic. 3w
TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list! 3w
ferskner @Butterfinger sometimes timeslip can really work but yes, I generally agree with you that I'd rather have a family epic! 2w
