 I’m feeling very 50/50 about this book. The first 100 pages I was not super into it. Then I couldn’t put it down. THEN I finished it and found the ending really cheap. I loved Darby a lot and was very invested with how her story played out. I kept pushing through Roses parts just to be back in 1950’s with Darby. Which is exactly how Rose felt, but Rose to me was not likable at all and I was fine with that because I thought that was the point. I was wrong. Apparently we are supposed to forgive her for being extremely weird and selfish?? I don’t know, to me the ending wrap up was really unbelievable, and it spoiled what could’ve been a five star read. Anyways love Sam and Darby❤️

Set in 1952 and 2016, this book switches the year almost every chapter. It follows the journey of a journalist writing a story on a young woman attending secretarial school in New York. I overall thought this was a good read. It was a little slow in some parts, but it kept me interested enough to finish. A bit of a plot twist toward the end.
