Maisy and Max — Jane O'Brien

In this magical, romantic book, the second in the series of The Unforgettables, the story of Ivy and Fox continues in contemporary times, while at the same time flashing back to previous generations of gypsies, circus performers, and vaudevillians. In Book One of the series, Ruby and Sal, Ivy had been taking notes from her 102-year- old great grandmother in order to write a book about Ruby's life. Little did she know that while learning about secrets her great-grandmother held, Ivy would reveal mysteries that she would need to solve before moving on with her own life. Centered around West Michigan where vaudevillians used to summer in the 1920s and 1930s, Maisy and Max is the mystical tale of a love story which is woven through a time that was filled with passionate love and agonizing trials. It then circles back to 2017 where we last left Ivy and Fox, miserable and aching for each other. In the past, each generation has held its secrets, but Ivy's secret may be the most powerful one of all and could possibly hurt the man she loves. Unbeknownst to Ivy, Fox also has a secret of his own that he has been holding close, and once revealed, he could lose all that he holds dear.
