Mockingbird Summer

I went into this book with high hopes because I really enjoyed Rutledge's previous historical fiction, West with Giraffes. Unfortunately, this one did not have the same impact on me as a reader. It was a good book, but it did not give me anything I did not already know or feel about the time period of the story. Therefore, it is a 3 star read for me. I would recommend it as a good story with likable characters, but I do not foresee it being memorable to me.
