I made it 10% of the way in. There are so far 2 points of view and both are in 1st person. One is interesting enough, though bitter, and the other is just annoying as all get out. The historical aspect could be interesting, but the POV that is in current times is just not worth reading through to get to the past POV. 

*Mild spoilers* the current POV, she threw her life away for a cheating POS who has put her down their whole relationship. She is distinctly aware of this even while she pines for him and wishes she could be pregnant and have a baby. (This is all revealed by page 20ish). That is fine, but not to my taste. What really kills the whole thing is how "not like other girls" she expresses herself, the way she blames others for her career not being what she wanted while having a nepotism job, and how she is written in general. She comes across as whinny, entitled, boring, and stupid all at the same time.

I just cannot. There are too many books to drag myself through this. 2 stars because maybe the historical aspect could have given it more umph as things go along... But what I read was a 1 star for me.
