I'm a pretty big Cat Sebastian fan so I was excited to read seemingly her first set in the 20th century. I enjoyed Andy and Nick's story and enjoyed Sebastian's use of historical references and clear research, as explained in her author's note, to make their story feel real.
My greatest criticism is that it could have been a little longer for the audience to really get to see Nick and Andy's friendship grow, I just wanted to understand them a little more.
This book was much more closed door than I believe any of her others ones are so I find this shift very interesting for her.

Graphic: Grief and Classism
Moderate: Homophobia, Sexual content, and Lesbophobia
Minor: Death of parent

I love it. Sebastian just keeps getting better and better.
PS Ignore all blurb comparisons. They're all terrible. Much more accurate comparisons are Sebastian's Page and Sommers books. Similar authors are KJ Charles (more smutty, and her latest chronological setting is 1920s in Slippery Creatures, but just as romantic and similar politics and creating a safe bubble in a hostile world) and Allie Therin (magic + more violent, but similar smut levels and Proper Scoundrels is the best grumpy/sunshine trope).
