This book is great for anyone who loves historical fiction mixed with adventure and romance. This book is filled with mystery, spy missions, dashing young lords and strong female characters that all girls can relate to. Baldwin knows how to write a compelling story and readers will not be able to put this book down till the story is complete.

While this historical fiction book has a good romance and story, the author seemed to have trouble writing about the characters. Their banter and mannerisms seemed force at times and they all felt a little two dimensional to me. However the historical accuracy that the author put into this book was really great and very interesting to read about. She was really able to show how trapped women were in the 1800's. Plus, the main character's adventure to find the ending of her favorite book was a cute premise and kept me reading to the end.

This is a great second book in the Selection series. Cass develops the characters further making readers fall deeper in love with them. The world of the Selection is also expanded on throughout the book as America tries to understand what is going on in her heart. Overall this makes for a great read for any teen or adult.

This book was fascinating to me. It discusses so many impactful topics. It makes you think about life, death, loss and love. Well written book that makes you consider life itself. Loved it.

It was funny.

This book is very relevant to the current racial struggles in America, following a white journalist who lives through the African-American experience in the Jim-Crow South. Written as a series of journal entries, Black Like Me fully illustrates the horrors that black citizens experienced daily in the 1950s and 60s as well as the effects of the journey on the author, both emotionally and professionally. It is a must read for anyone looking to broaden their understanding of the role of race in American society.
