This novel, set in 60’s Vegas, follows the life of Ruby Wilde, a showgirl who’s trying to get over her tragic and disturbing childhood. Church does a fantastic job creating this memorable character, and I loved the sprinkling of historic events throughout the book. However, some of the content was difficult to read (definitely some trigger warnings there!), so I wasn’t always excited to pick up the book. I would probably give this author another try if she sticks to something in the historical fiction vein.
