Reviews

[Gina House · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5🌟 So good!! After reading three Lida Larrimore books, this one is definitely my favorite so far. From the very first page, I was totally engrossed in the story of this young married couple—Nancy and Brad Yorke.

Here are just a few reasons why I LOVED this novel:

❊ House set up (from glamour to rustic)
❊ Lovely details of clothing and fashion
❊ Domestic details galore
❊ Very likeable husband
❊ Slightly unlikable wife (but with the added satisfaction of seeing her mature and "grow up" emotionally)
❊ Glamorous parties balanced by everyday chores and hard work

Lida Larrimore is quickly becoming one of my favorite vintage romance novel writers! I have many more books in my collection to read...I can't wait!

Many thanks to my friend, Andrea (@sorrythankyou79 on Instagram) for recommending this book to me! It was an awesome buddy read and I can't wait to chat with her about it!
