Thank you GetRed PR Books and Tori Whitaker for this gifted copy.

I was so excited to start reading book ๐—” ๐— ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ since I absolutely loved Whittakerโ€™s previous book, Millicent Glennโ€™s Last Wish.

Iโ€™m currently loving the dual timelines (Iโ€™m a total geek for any book set during the Jazz Age) and this story itself is turning into one heck of a thrill ride! I should finish today and Iโ€™m really interested to see how the rest of the story unfolds.

๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Melanie Barnett thinks she has it all together. With an ex-fiancรฉ and a pending promotion at a Kentucky bourbon distillery, Melanie has figured out that love and career donโ€™t mix. Until she makes a discovery while cleaning her Jordan MX car, a scarlet-red symbol of the Jazz Ageโ€™s independent women that she inherited from her great-great-great-aunt Violet. Its secret compartment holds Violetโ€™s weathered journalโ€•within it an intriguing message: Take from this story what you will, Melanie, and you can bury the rest. Melanie wonders what more there is to learn from Violetโ€™s past.

In 1921 Violet Bond defers to no one. Hers is a life of adventure in Detroit, the hub of the motorcar boom and the fastest growing city in America. But in an era of speakeasies, financial windfalls, free-spirited friends, and unexpected romance, itโ€™s easy to spin out of control.

Now, as Melanieโ€™s own world takes unexpected turns, her life and Violetโ€™s life intersect. Generations apart, theyโ€™re coming into their own and questioning what modern womanhoodโ€•and happinessโ€•really means.
