A review by bookishteresa
The Poppy and the Rose by Ashlee Cowles
3.0
I was given an ARC copy from NetGalley.
The Poppy and the Rose has a really interesting premise that I like -- weaving the story of Ava, a passenger on the Titanic, and Taylor, who is in the present. I love the historical factors in the story. The book reads very fast and I really enjoyed the flashbacks. The dual POV worked really well for the story to push the story along with Ava's story being read in a book by Taylor. They are both unfolding a mystery around their respective fathers and family histories. Overall, I enjoyed the book but I would have liked more of Taylor's story.
