Book Description:

Olivia Mead is a headstrong, independent girl—a suffragist—in an age that prefers its girls to be docile. It's 1900 in Oregon, and Olivia's father, concerned that she's headed for trouble, convinces a stage mesmerist to try to hypnotize the rebellion out of her. But the hypnotist, an intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead: she's able to see people's true natures, manifesting as visions of darkness and goodness, while also unable to speak her true thoughts out loud. These supernatural challenges only make Olivia more determined to speak her mind, and so she's drawn into a dangerous relationship with the hypnotist and his mysterious motives, all while secretly fighting for the rights of women.

This stand-alone book is about 340 pages.

My thoughts:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really loved it!! I honestly was not expecting to like it as much as I do. It's a really good historical fiction about women's suffrage, feminism, and independence. Something that I especially loved was how the author portrayed her characters: something about them just felt so realistic, like I could meet them in real life. The plot was so good, and hints of magic and a cute love story just make it all the better. Highly recommend!!
