Dollface

I loved this book. It’s written like I think they would have talked. Very entertaining.

Heart wrenching and exciting

From the first chapter in this book you will be enchanted. You get so enthralled in Vera's life and hoping her dreams come true. I read this book so quickly and wasn't ready for it to end. I wish there were more books about Vera and Shep. The details in this book feels like a time machine has thrown you in the 1920's and how woman lived among the gangsters while trying to be strong raise a family. I'll try to not give away too much but this book is my #1 favorite
