Just a total swoonfest and so funny!! Courtney’s author’s note is amazing and I adored reading about this little tucked away community of East Asian diaspora in the English countryside. How refreshing to read a historical romance set in England with such a richly diverse cast.

Jeremy is a hot mess puppy boi and Chloe is the type a, take no sh*t woman I want to be besties with. This pair!! LOVE!

Just so downright sweet and funny and lovely. Low angst and so cute, definitely recommend if you're looking for a low stakes trip into regency romance that doesn't fall into the typical tropes of the genre.

This was beautiful, I quite literally couldn't put it down. Made me giggle, made my cry, made me happy to have read it.
