How I Got It: Purchased
It’s only been two books, but I think Leila Sales is not
the author for me. A lot like Miranda Kenneally. Objectively, I can see why people would like these books,
but they kind of bother me.
I do like the idea of this story about two rival
reenactment towns. I wonder how accurate it is. And I’m kind of curious to meet
someone who works in a place like that. Plus, there’s a Romeo and Juliet
romance going on.
But a lot of things bring this down. First, is Chelsea’s
character. I find her incredibly selfish and kind of annoying. She seemed to
blame everyone else for things and I never believed she was sorry for any of the
things she did. The way she treated her dad was especially bad. I actually got
conflicted about the romance because I liked Dan, but didn’t think she really
deserved his love.
It was also frustrating that the kids were so
destructive. A lot of them seemed to care about where they worked, but damaged
historical places.
Some people will really enjoy this book. But I’ve learned
that I don’t click with Ms. Sales so I’ll be staying away from her books in the
future.
Thanks for reading!
