I liked it but something just doesn't sit well with me about this book. I have read quite a few historical fiction novels, specifically on antebellum America. I felt like this was for a young, young adult. (I'm 25). It is an easy read but kind of TOO easy. The author does over-simplifies the time period, as one reviewer stated. And in turn undermines the conflicts and struggles of that time. I feel like she had a decent premise but it just floated on the surface, never daring to delve down into to the murky deep. One review said that this was the author's first foray in historical fiction. If that is true it makes since and if not, then it should be.
