bailedI made it 136 pages into this book before calling it quits 🏆Prior to this page, there was some eye rolling and some “Ughs” thrown about, but a specific line on this page got me to throw in the towel. I‘m not a romance fan so I shouldn‘t have even picked this book up, BUT I love Chicago, Marshall Field‘s (the store), and historical fiction so I thought I‘d give it a chance. I tried, but no. Onto the next book!
