The Last American Heiresses - Stephen Greco
★ ★/5
Ugh. Who let me read a book written by a man about famous women in the early 20th century, I should've known I wouldn't get the story I was hoping for. The blurb made this book sound fascinating, two young heiresses growing up to make names for themselves- how they misconstrued their friendship to the media to carve out a bit of peace for themselves. What we get instead is a book about 200 pages too long that adds a fictional modern story about the jewels they owned. I found myself wanting to skip past the moments in the modern age, I couldn't care less about Emma, sorry. It was slow and dragged on and honestly just wasn't for me. I'm sure there are worse depictions of these women out there, but this one definitely wasn't the best.
