Why can’t being happy be easy?

Thoughts: 💡
Oh my lord I adore this! The characters were incredibly endearing and I found myself laughing out loud so many times. There are parts that felt so poignantly heartbreaking and relatable that I had  to question if the struggles were really so similar between a modern woman and one from Victorian England.
The presence of the overtly stringent patriarchy and the way that they capitalized on common issues with propaganda was both historically accurate and modernly relevant.
I loved that the characters were all multifaceted with relatable flaws and believable circumstances that initiated the changes and development in their character. Every character in this book made an impact from the smart, science-minded, and savvy Peterson sisters, to the taciturn and practical Thorne, to the humorous and ever curious minded nine year old Sadie.
The plot was smart and well pieced together, and the story incredibly well edited; but it was the characters that stole the show.
After all, it’s always fun to see a grumpy male lead fall for the beautiful and brilliant scientist.
