This book was an absolute delight to read. Characters fleshed out enough to actually care about them and a well-researched insight into Depression-era circus life.
As fare as plot goes, there’s probably nothing you haven’t already seen or read a hundred times over in romance novels, or Lifetime Network movies for TV. Same material set against a new backdrop.
Sometimes a good read is just that – a good read. It doesn’t have to be life-changing – just entertaining. I love how it was all told as a personal history.
I do appreciate the author’s exhaustive research to get the circus terms right. My only (small) complaint (and maybe I missed something) was that not all the terms were defined for the reader. It does not take away from the storyline at all.
