👩‍🎓 There are a lot of Kleypas PhD’s out there, and I am but a humble student. So, I will just say that this was, surprisingly, my favorite Kleypas book to date. While it has less external plot than some of her other books, I found it possibly even more engaging. Kleypas does a masterful job bringing us along the characters’ journey as they navigate love lost and found, through their emotional turmoil, without ever weighing the book down with too much angst. (I did not die a Sherry Thomas death here, if you know what I mean.)⁣

⁣

🙋🏻‍♀️ I wonder what other Kleypas fans think of this standalone? It feels very different than The Wallflowers. ⁣

All I can say is thank god for the secondary romance in this, as I think I would have DNFed it otherwise. I think the McKenna and Aline romance would work for fans of Wuthering Heights (from which its obviously inspired), but since I am famously a hater, I did not like this. I didn't buy any of their relationship (also not a fan of childhood friends to lovers), and I found their treatment of each other to be incredibly callous. Gabriel and Livia, however, were a delight and I wish the focus had been more on them.

Some unnecessary slowings of the pace, but otherwise the almost Wuthering Heights retelling I needed. And thankfully no babylogue.

As long as you're okay with familiar romance tropes and privileged people not recognizing their own privilege, this is a decent little two-in-one love story, heavier on the sex scenes than what I'm used to with Kleypas, though she tends to be generous in that regard. 

A little heavy handed with the melodrama of two adults who refuse to tell one other important information for really no discernible reason, but not in a fashion atypical of the genre. There were noticeable typos in the digital copy I read, which I've noticed before with Kleypas books.
