# 1 - Read 30 books - The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty (Book 17)

I couldn't put this book down!  This story spans decades and does such a great job of developing characters.  I was really invested in this book. There's so much more to it than the synopsis gives, which was a big part of its appeal.  There were so many surprises and so many good plots.  I can't say enough good things about it.  A big portion of the story takes place in the 20s and 30s, periods I love.  It's so odd to read things set in that period and know that things like skirts above the ankle and blush on your cheeks was taboo.  The women's suffrage movement was also going on at this time too and I find it all fascinating. 

The synopsis highlights the story of Cora and Louise.  But there is so, so much more to this book.  Read the gist of it here.  I really encourage you to read this book!
