I listened to this on audio and it was a well narrated tale. It was a good read but not a lot of depth

I didn’t read this book as high as other Dee Williams books I have read in the past. It wasn’t for me. I gave this book a 2 star rating, as just felt it didn’t live up to her other books that I thought
were far better. I read this many years ago not today as the date will say.

A clever little story with some nice characters. Not as much history as her usual books but still enjoyable. The amnesia part very believable and kept you wondering. Love interests galore and dreams to follow.

This was a very easy to read book and is good for commuting. The story was alright.

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really lovely book that was easy to read. Predictable ending but it made me smile. I love reading about the 1920's Jazz era and this did not disappoint!

Very light story, but a quick easy read for someone short on time
