My gosh! I'm honestly so happy I ended really loving this book. I was seeing it all over bookstagram and booktube and it was just always in my face that I figured I'd give in and see what people were talking about. And again, I'm so happy that I did. I loved almost everything about this book. The writing was exquisite and the love story between Iris and Kitt (Roman) is literally chef's kiss and the fact that the author was also able to showcase their individual personalities and how they contrast yet complement each other was executed very well. And THE LETTERS! Dare, I say more. They were phenomenal, I love every single one! Honestly, this book would've been 5 stars for me, but I'm not sure if it was just me but I found some of the plotics of their world to be confusing. Because of that, I found myself caring way more about the love story rather than the plot (which is still interesting, but I wish the author was more clear on how the world worked). Also, I'm confused about what time period this story is set in because there are times when it reads as an urban fantasy where everyone has jobs, electricity, there's baseball, etc, but then other times it seems like it's set in a much older time period. Like there was one time where it states that Forest was born in 1892, and I'm like, what?! So, that part was unclear to me, but other than that I loved this book! Can't wait for book two!

Oh also I feel like we should've gotten a scene where Kitt defies his father and breaks off the engagement because it seemed like such a major plot point but then gets explained away in a few sentences. I hope the author dives into the consequences of Kitt's actions.
