I’ve always found her to be fascinating and read many books about her!
Lake County by Lori Rory really surprised me! It’s set in a small Florida town in the 50s. My grandparents lived in Mount Dora when I was a kid and would visit them in the summer. I was thrilled when it was mentioned several times in the book! What I didn’t expect is, this is a fictional story based on Marilyn Monroe’s life but with the focus on her fictional niece. I absolutely enjoyed every part of this book.
The characters all felt real and true, and I was engaged and worried for all of them. The story is wrapped up in the Tampa Mafia of the 50s and I loved how the author wound the stories together.
I highly recommend Lake County, I couldn’t put this book down! I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the story! The author has a subtle way of writing that I found to be brilliant! I would love to hear your thoughts if you read this!
