This non-fiction book offers a fresh, fun look at the time of the American Revolution. Who knew alcohol played such a big part in our history.

The premise of the book sounded interesting but it was way too long and repetitive. In this book AI is implanted in a brain dead individual and Julia is hired to manipulate "Bernie" (a nod to the movie "Weekend at Bernie's). The book is told through alternating points of view. Note: The 3 stars is rounded up from 2.5 stars.

I read several books regarding the the occupation of France during Wii every book I've read I still wonder how the world let this happen. Colette was a very strong woman who never gave up, to live all those years not knowing her sister had lived? the way the author wove them in to all be related at the end. Tristen was really Daniel Rosman. and Lucus as her sisters' son. as much as I enjoyed the book I Felt the end was tied up with a ribbon.

I read this book because it was the monthly selection for my book club. I stuck with it, but did not enjoy it at all.
