I received this book from the Goodreads First Reads program

Let's start with the positives and work our way from there. Ms. Engler – thank you for taking part in the first reads program to try and get your work out into the public to garnish reviews. I admire anyone who can go through the process of writing a book, managing to get it published, and then releasing it to the critical public. For that, I admire and thank you.

In my first library science class they taught us “every book its reader”, and with that in mind, I'll say that I was not the reader for this book. There are glaring spelling and grammatical errors, an excessive use of exclamation points, and sentence structure that makes me want to cry. I entered the giveaway because of my love of history and a fascination with Ireland, but unfortunately this book fell absolutely flat for me and I didn't make it past the first 40 pages. Not every book is meant for every reader, but thank you for the opportunity!
