Once again, ... is another new author to me. I borrowed this book of my nan, who has the same reading taste.
I loved the storyline of this book and how it is narrated by multiple people so you can see what makes the make the choices the make, or just read a situation from a different perspective. The characters are well written and have depth which helps to immerse yourself into their wold and lives. Each of the main three girls were from different backgrounds and were each unique in the Nightingale Hospital, which resulted in making their individual, as well as the group story more interesting.
I think my favourite character was either Nick because of his sentimental, protective and caring side which he would only show to those he trusts (he was written to be 'dark and mysterious') or Charlie, who was Nick's polar opposite when it came to personality. Charlie was kind, full of energy and very romantic.
I've mentioned it before, but my absolute favourite thing about a historical fiction is how much you can learn about a time period because you feel like you are actually there. A well written historical novel will allow you to hear, smell and see everything the character can, but from your own room. This book, for me, definitely qualified as well written and immersive.
I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy historical fiction or you love a light but revealing (for want of a better word) romantic story. Douglas doesn't cower from the truth London's East end, but embrace it.
As always, please comment suggestions on how I could improve my reviews or which books I should review next xXx
