Emily asked this question about The Rose Code:

So this is probably the longest (almost a month) I've taken on a book and I'm only 180 pages in. Does it start to pick up? Should I consider this a loss? Please convince me why I should keep going or why I should stop. Thanks!

My first read through I read them to get the information that was needed and was always thankful they were short. After that I skipped them. I enjoyed the character growth of both Beth and Mab. If you continue be aware that Kate Quinn did not pull any punches and there are places you heart will heart. There are also places where you inner reader will sing with joy.(less)
