What a fun retelling and the ending was perfection.
Pro: This was a fun and charming retelling.
Pro: This book featured a colorful cast of characters, who were complex and interesting.
Pro: The interactions between Beatrice and Benedick were so fabulous. With each page, I was hoping they would share more time together.
Pro: Beatrice may be one of my favorite characters I have met this year. She was too fabulous for words with her genius level intelligence and her moxie not to hide it. She spoke her mind, was a survivor, and I loved her boldness.
Pro: George picked some of the best things about the 20s to feature in this book. I especially loved the slang. So fun.
Pro: Hey Nonny Nonny was more than a house, it was a place where strangers from different socioeconomic and cultural worlds became family. The bond between its inhabitants was obvious, and their actions spoke way louder than any words ever could.
Pro: This debut is filled with some amazing writing. From the dialog to the descriptions, George did an incredible job pulling me in the time period and the lives of these characters.
Pro: George gave me a great and satisfying ending.
Overall: A fun trip back in time, which made me smile, laugh, swoon, and cheer.
