Speak Easy, Speak Love by McKelle George

This story was fun and the characters were perfect, I give this book 5 stars.Īctual Rating: 3.5 Stars. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to reading more books by McKelle George. I would have loved an epilogue further in the past showing us what the characters grow up to be but the ending that is provided is amazing. The characters complemented each other wonderfully and the pairs work out perfectly. The romantic relationships in this book are also written well, expected, but done very well.

Their love for each other is touching and watching Beatrice find her place in this family is very charming. They each work extremely hard to achieve their goals and their relationship with Hey Nonny Nonny will never fail to make me smile. I love that the author didn't change their personalities drastically but rather focused on how their relationships evolved at the turning point in their lives. We watch these kids defy all social etiquette, expectations, and stereotypes and exhibit amazing skills. She has a very scientific view of life and watching her and Benedick argue constantly and get nowhere is one of the most amusing things I’ve read because it’s so pointless.Įach of these people have the most amazing personalities and it made the story so much better. She will speak her mind honestly and will not think twice about emotions. Maggie is the speakeasy's singer with a voice that can charm just about anybody, but now the speakeasy is struggling and she must pursue her dream of singing at bigger jazz clubs.īeatrice is naturally smarter than 95% of the population and will never beat around the bush. Beatrice wants to become a doctor, but her stepfather stopped paying for her schooling and she goes to her cousin Hero for refuge till she figures out how to get into college. Benedick comes from a wealthy family who want him to go to college and get a high paying job when all he wants is to become a writer. Prince brings the alcohol, and is probably the only boy immune to Hero’s charms. Hey Nonny Nonny is a speakeasy run by Hero Stahr after her mother’s death.

Every single one one them is fierce and would do anything for the ones they love.

These characters have spent their lives fighting to survive, now more than ever, and they're not going to give up. The book is set in the 1920’s following a group of people who each somehow ended up at Hey Nonny Nonny. This book was mind blowing and reading it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. It shouldn’t be possible to love characters this much. “With so much of my heart, none of it is left to protest.” She closed her eyes and tucked his fingers close, right where they belonged.
