Heartbreakingly Wonderful submitted by lola13 on July 15, 2011, 11:17am The best book I've read in a long time. Stories about the Titanic are always very sad, but I found this one particularly heart-wrenching. an amazing book that I would recommend to anyone who likes the movie Titanic, or just wants to travel through time for a few hours.
Okay submitted by zmclaugh on July 25, 2018, 5:03pm An okay book with an unnecessary twist at the end. Read it if you're into the Titanic.
