The Marriage List by Dorothy McFalls
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book had been kicking around on my Kindle for some time, I'm not sure if it was one of the free daily book deals, or I paid for it.
On paper, or at least on the Kindle in this case, it was everything that I don't like: full of Americanised English and what passes for grammar, it was also fairly high on the not terribly authentic scale, but some little tiny thing kept me turning the pages.
Taking all of the above into account it scored the thick end of 3 stars.
The good, the bad and the ugly:
As mentioned above it was not high quality writing based on sound historical research and knowledge and so there were very many ugly bits.
One golden moment, for all the wrong reasons was Page 81 'The green-eyed monster, jealousy, stabbed her but good.' - a sentence such as this should never, ever, ever be seen this genre.
