I picked this up because I loved You Should Be So Lucky, and thought this would be just as good. It is not. I liked the characters, but there’s not much of a plot to speak of (despite clear hints/seeds of plots) and the pacing drags on a lot. The central relationship is great. With any luck, that’s what I’ll remember about this book.

I completely underestimated this book!! It is an absolutely wonderful love story, the characters are complelling and lovable. Some parts are completely gut-wrenching, relatable, and hard-hitting. The character development is done extremely thoughtfully and intentionally. Happy queer people in history is a rare find, and absolutely worth a read.

5 stars for how delighted I was throughout this book. It's so much fluffier than I expected! That being said, it's not without depth, and the sweetness feels earned. I adored the characters. I dunno, this book was like a warm hug from someone you didn't expect to hug you.

I somehow feel like I wasn’t reading a slow burn between the characters but it was instead a slow burn with characters and me. Like you got to know the cast so easily and  relate to them instantly. The plot felt so absolutely in character and natural and “of course it happened that way, how else would it happen”. This book had me so in love, toes gripping the sheets like I needed to know everything about them immediately. Happy endings in queer books are the only option from here on.
