My Thoughts:

I love the idea of this series and have learned a little about history with each book that I have read. It is horrifying to know that magnitude of what one woman did to countless families. As far as the book goes, The Pink Bonnet is a quick and easy read. I did not get as emotionally invested as I had expected. I found myself slightly disconnected from Cecile and even Millie. I think it is because I struggled with the relationship development in the midst of the loss. There were moments that felt forced and maybe a little unrealistic to me. It was a quick read. I did enjoy it, it's just not going to make my list of favorites!
