This is the sequel to Anatomy: A Love Story, Dana Schwartz's first novel. And the final novel to the duology.
It was narrated by the same performer as Anatomy. I like when it's consistent like that.
It picks up months after the stunning events of the first book, with Hazel doing surgical work without being an official surgeon. The patient we see her treating very much relates to our health care in present times. I love when authors make history come back around to us. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Dana also gives us an alternate history of Princess Charlotte, the granddaughter of King George III, the very King from Netflix's Bridgerton spinoff.
We also find out more of the supernatural element and how that plays into the story the author weaves. You can tell Dana Schwartz loves history and uses her fiction voice to rewrite it. If you haven't discovered her podcast, Noble Blood yet, give it a listen and you'll dive into history. It makes her novels that much richer.
I don't know what I was expecting going into this but it definitely wasn't a woman trying to become a doctor in an age where that was not allowed. I was unaware that this was a second book when I requested the ARC but I was glad to finally get the first book off of my TBR! My biggest complaint about this book is the love triangle, but also that I didn't like either men? One of them seemed like he wanted nothing to do with her, and the other just seemed Too Perfect. He was very quick to be like “Yup! We can do whatever you want!” and I like a little more angst in my romances. Overall this book was just ok for me, not sure if it was the writting, the historical setting, or the fact that the main character continuously got everything she wanted without much struggle. I know this author has written a few other books including a YA contemporary and a memoir and I'd definitely check them out to see if I like them more!
Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review
