This book had my interest from the moment I read the synopsis as there is not enough books written regarding the roaring 20’s and this was set in Chicago which was the icing on the cake. The story was good, but there was something more I wanted from Sawyer’s perspective. I did love Honoree’s story and I liked that cranky Ms. Honoree who wanted an even trade for her story I loved. This book did have all the gangsters, racism, speakeasies, crime, jazz, and dancing that I was expecting, but I would have liked to know more. I did appreciate the epilogue but I wanted more from that too. I suppose it is a good thing when you want more of a story and it really was well researched and well written. It did have a fair amount of action and was fast paced. Trigger warnings for sexual assault, violence, murder, racism, and suicide attempt. I hope Denny Bryce continues to write because she is definitely an author I would read again!
