Give Jane Walsh a proper editor and some better cover art and she will be unstoppable. This is my second book of hers and despite some sentence-level errors and a couple other minor issues, I really enjoyed it. It wasn't as centered on the romance as most historical romances are, but I still found the love story satisfying and rooted for the characters all the way through. The non-romance plot was a fascinating homage to Jane Austen in many ways, with strong elements of Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion in particular threaded throughout. Loved the way that Arabella's art was incorporated. Love that we met some other lesbians and set them up to have their own books without developing them very much yet. The epilogue could have been set up better but was still satisfying. If you like sapphic historical romance and haven't read anything by this author, you absolutely should.
