We Came Here To Shine

I’m not a major Historical Fiction fan but when I read the synopsis about the Worlds Fair I knew I wanted to read it.

The author did an amazing job with the description of the fair that I could visualize myself there walking around with the people. And that right there is a sign of great writing. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters of Max and Vivi. Although they had different jobs at the fair I felt they were similar and connected in so many ways. And who knew the fair was such a feat to put together! So many things that went on. It was amazing!

It was great to have two strong independent female characters as a lead in a book. Instead of a damsel in distress or forgetful ditzy girl.

I enjoyed the alternating chapters between the characters and learning of their setbacks and desires and how they portrayed in their eyes the worlds fair. It was refreshing to read an historical fiction book and it not be about war!

In the end I thought the book was well written, had excellent descriptive writing, enjoyable characters, and was very entertaining. The only thing that I felt is it was slow at the beginning and took a little bit of time for things to pick up.

In the end I gave this book 4 stars! Go ahead and pick up your copy today!

Love and Happy Reading,
