Cue up the music "My Heart Will Go On" and journey back to the maiden voyage of the Titanic. The cover of the book is striking inviting you to begin reading. Add two main characters, Penelope from Scotland and the Ruby from Ireland, who are roommates in second class on the unsinkable ship. They are both traveling with families (parents/siblings) to America. When the get to America they will be expected to marry and get on with their lives. It is a good set up for a sapphic historical romance.

Like Rose and Jack, their relationship won't be accepted, but they can steal some time for talking, dancing, exploring the ship and each other. It is told from Penelope's POV which works for the most part. I wish I knew a little more about Ruby's background with women and her feelings during the perils on the ship. After hitting the ice-berg the book follows the known narrative of people's behavior and the structural aspects of the sinking.

Overall I enjoyed the book and the MC's. I wasn't as emotionally invested in them as a couple only because their time together seems brief. The sinking itself is page-turning exciting and saying goodbye to love ones is what stands out emotionally to my heart. The epilogue seems realistic but didn't answer all my questions about how they were making a living and surviving beyond having a house.
