Saved By Titanic by Samantha Maise is a beautiful, historical romance book that really plays with your emotions.
It explores the tragedy of the Titanic and also the highs in life on and after it. I was so addicted to this story, and it was absolutely heart-breaking in the very best way. I found myself reading extra slowly in order to savour all it’s goodness (something I actually very rarely do) because truthfully, I didn’t want it to end!
Something I really liked was how well sympathy/empathy was created for all the characters, especially Genevieve. I was so invested in the characters and the story. Samantha did a great job at building and inflicting emotion on the reader.
I loved the friendships Genevieve made throughout and how the entire book empowered women.
I must say that there were several grammatical errors and awkward sentences. At the beginning it was also a little repetitive and the writing was a bit ‘clunky’. By that I mean there was a lot of short sentences that stated the obvious and it didn’t really flow very well. Fortunately that settled down as we moved on in the story.
I am absolutely in love with this beautiful and emotional book! The epilogue I felt rounded the entire thing off very nicely.
Genevieve Wilson is escaping her abusive husband and with her Grandmother Nana boards the Titanic, while on the ship she makes friends and experiences healing. This is a debut novel and I really enjoyed it.
