Besides a well balanced novel in terms of explicit content and plot, I loved the conversations our FMC was able to have with her partner about classism, racism, and misogyny. He was never going to experience those as a rich, cis, white man, and she needed him to understand why her business was always going to be more difficult than his (although her product was superior).
Novel also features: LGBTQIA+ characters (side), marriage of convenience, "get away from my wife", Latinx characters (main and side), Scottish MMC, historical setting (late 1800s)
Graphic: Alcohol, Classism, Sexual content, Racism, and Cursing
Moderate: Violence, Gun violence, Colonisation, Death of parent, and Slavery
