I don't know about you but I always wondered if the servants that worked for really rich people ever thought of what it would be like to be them. I'm sure they have. Well in the book Masquerade by Nancy Moser, Dora got to experience first hand what it was like to switch places with her best friend and Mistress Charlotte Gleason (did I mention she was rich)?!? As these two young women one a maid and one a Mistress travel to America to embark on a new journey in their life. "They risked it all for adventure and romance, but find that love only flourishes in truth." A journey full of hard truths and reality, but also a life full of love and a lot of growing up.
I put this book at the top of my read list (the cover was interesting and caught my attention right away). However,I had a hard time getting into this book, I found myself putting the book down to the bottom of my stack of review books and it was the last book I finished. t I felt like this book dragged a bit. I did however enjoy the point of views from the rich girl and the maid. I also enjoyed the characters both had very different personalities. I found parts rather funny and both characters clever in many ways. I really wished the book wouldn't of drug so much is some parts. I would like to read some more from Nancy Moser and see what her other books are like.
I received a free copy of this book courtesy of Bethany Publishing Company for the purpose of reviewing.
