I’m not the biggest romance reader, I usually am surprised when I enjoy one… but I knew going in that I was going to laugh and cry and love this book for the all the humanity it brought with it. Viola's journey is so much more than just about her being transgender in a time where that term didn’t exist. It’s about love and hope and learning to accept yourself and the flaws of others. It’s about PTSD. It’s about a nefarious Duke trying to ruin a young girls reputation and the brother running to save her. It’s about family. Honestly one of the most beautifully written historical fictions and I’m still teary eyed from the ending. I loved all of it.
