too much build up for a one off book
A fun teen book set in 1900 London. It follows three young woman whose paths seem fated to cross. Assistants to three famous men, they become entangled in a mystery only they can solve. I really hoped this book would become a series because there is a lot of build up and it makes the ending seemed a little rushed. While it is considered steampunk, I feel like it is more like getting your feet wet just enough to be curious about the genre.
You have the no nonsense scientist, flighty yet loyal performer, and the doesn't speak English Japanese fighter. Three girl which should have little in common are more similar than they'd think. You get all three girl's POV which is nice. And I can identify with some of their irritations. A cute, fun and quick read.

Planning the Perfect…Deletion
You’ve never heard of McMasters, the secret college that teaches adults of all age how to get away with deleting someone, what we uninitiated would call murder. This book, presented as an instructional book for those of us who can’t attend the university, has three case studies from three students in the 1950’s. They all need to delete their bosses for various reasons. Will they learn enough to help them?

I’d heard about this book for a while, and finally remembered to get it from the library. Parts of it were fun, like the word play. However, that didn’t carry on throughout the book, at least for me. My biggest gripe is that trying to juggle three students made it hard to focus on and remember who all the players were in all three stories. I think taking out one of the students would have helped. Still, I did have fun with this book. I’m glad I finally gave it a chance.

"The Long Goodbye, California Split, and Nashville might represent the best three years of any director’s career. There is a mix of realism and grittiness that Altman does to perfection."
