A lovely, cosy novella featuring a trans hero and bi heroine. The story is mostly about their connection and getting to know one another, without any real angst or conflict. Just tender and sweet.
I love that both of the main characters crafted things for a living (the hero is a silversmith and the heroine a quilter). You could feel the love of craftsmanship shining through the pages. There was also inclusion of women’s rights and other social issues that still felt very grounded in the era and accurate to the time period.
The ending felt a bit rushed though; the book ends right as they get together and I would’ve loved another chapter or two to see them settle into the relationship.
