Critique: This is an great book for those who enjoy coming of age stories or historical fiction. I thought the plot was very interesting and enjoyed the fact that Lee included flashbacks for Jean Louise’s childhood that included characters from To Kill a Mockingbird. Personally, I didn’t like the revelation that the story is set around, but still found the plot and story intriguing.

Star Rating: 4/5
