The Gilded Age, is where I am truly meant to have been. High society balls, fancy gowns and meeting the most amazing people. Jen Turano must have traveled back in time to get her information, this book is spot on and transported me. Miss Permilia Griswold is my Gilded Age spirit character ( the character I want to be), and her story will blow you away.

Miss Permilia Griswold is a hilariously created character. She is literally the definition of a wallflower ( and has some perks to that), until she finds her heart being stolen away. For a female character, Permilia stands out with her unique awkwardness with society. I relate Permilia to talking to men, and prefer the running plan as well. You never know what those gentlemen may say. Anyways, Permilia is also giving me the cuteness factor, she doesn’t see what the reader sees about her, the bright mind, the beauty (she is so not plain) and the overall charm factor. I would gladly be a wallflower with Permilia. Permilia- let’s be BFFs.

Now with Mr. Asher Rutherford, I would have been the girls wanting his latest fashions just to meet him! I mean come on, this guy is a great catch and no matter what those gossip biddies said, I was  Asher-ila (see what I did there) all the way. They were strong as independents, but super heroes together. I loved their conversations, and the silly moments. Asher gets her, really gets her. Who doesn’t want a man to really understand them? He falls in love with the Permilla that the reader falls in love with as well.

For a Christian fiction and Christian romance book, it sets the bar high, I have truly read through it three times and each time it gets better. Jen Turano has an amazing approach to her faith in the stories, and I love her writing style. Just keeping sweeping us away Jen, you do an amazing job at that.
