ok yeah the title is misleading but that's also like, the point of it, I guess, that even in the contemporary context of the sinking of the Titanic these “survivors” (who were all meant to sail on the Titanic but missed the boat for various reasons) understood the cachet and allure of describing themselves that way.

anyway I enjoyed this quite a lot, a bit of armchair/time travel to Paris, and like most bookish people (including this very book's fictional character Zinnia) I enjoy it when fictional characters read real books.

I feel neutral about the doomed love triangle.
