It is a closed door romance with the mc witnessing a few heavy makeout sessions, and once walking in on some people "Rolling a round in the hay".

Generally the tone of this book is fairly light, it has some hints at darker themes though substance abuse throughout the book, with rhe main character falling in with the 'bad crowd' through result if her own perpeptual boredom. And it really does do a good job of showing how dull the proper crowd could be in companionable to the thrilling and excitement of the bad crown. There is also a scene towards the end where the violence gets alot more extreme than I was expecting us to get in a book like this. However it was an enjoyable read.
I wouldn't say that it is historically accurate, more along the lines of Bridgerton accuracy where it goes off of vibes more than anything else.
But it is a nice book that's reads easily, and while this was something completely new to me as I'm trying to spread it a little more, I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I loved this story, though I was sold it as “queer regency” and the queerness is only a side pairing and what I might call a queer platonic toxic friendship. I love that romances give us happy endings :) But part of what I love about regency is the clothing descriptions, which were sadly lacking here. Nevertheless, a fun and quick read and I’m looking forward to more from Lex Croucher.
