I received this as an ARC through Netgalley. I decided to check this story out mainly as it covered a part of British history I don't read much about. It also has an appealing cover. Firstly, I must say I was a little disappointed by the mix of this story. I honestly wish that it had been more 50/50 between modern day and historical fiction. It felt like the story in modern day could have held its own without the historical fiction part, but it also made the historical fiction side seem almost pointless. I get that in the scheme of things, all of the characters and how they're intertwined is important. I just don't think it was handled as well as it could have been. I was a big fan of Holly though. Her personality, her profession, etc. She was the best part of the book. Overall, the story was fairly interesting, just needed a little work.
