I almost didn’t read this book and I just wanna slap myself for ever doubting it.
I don’t normally read historical fiction but I am obsessed with anything that involves the Titanic. Why not give it a chance right?
Well I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I have ever read. Ever.
I was literally sobbing by the end of it, sobbing into my pillow so I didn’t wake my baby up.
I’m a damn mess but it was worth it.
Luck of the Titanic is loosely based on the 6 Chinese survivors of the Titanic. The fact that we know almost nothing about them made this story even better to me.
The story is told by Valora Luck a British-Chinese girl. Valora manages to sneak herself onto the ship on the search for her twin brother Jamie. Her hopes are to make it to America and join the circus as an acrobat.
The characters were my absolute favorite part of the book. Valora was the perfect MC, she was driven, brave and so protective of her family. The supporting characters were just as amazing.
Stacey Lee did such a fantastic job at making me forget about the impending doom. I obviously knew how it would end but I was so invested in Valora’s story that I kept forgetting. If only we could change the outcome.
I think that anyone can enjoy this book. It’s incredibly heartbreaking, but so beautifully written.
