- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
4.5
A cute reverse Cinderella tale with a headstrong female and a winking, playful male. At first I found their attraction to be really captivating, but then things went into directions I found pretty unbelievable for historical romance. That took me out of the story sometimes, but overall, I was happy with the ending.

This was really cute but again, too long. The romance was so lovely and the twist of the classic Cinderella tale was great.

Bored. Skimmed entire middle. The banter wasn’t bantering. The plot was so convoluted but not in a fun way.

I finally finished but I was so bored, the last few chapters I just skimmed it.
I'm putting it 2 stars instead of 1 because I learned a bit of history that I didn't know, but thats all.

Diverse in that the characters were Jewish and not white anglo-saxon protestants in London. Not incredibly sweeping or swoony but a pretty good historical romance.

I thought this was pretty good, though I wish there had been a bit more details for the main and side characters lives and backstories. I felt it suffered from the curse of many first books in a series in that it has to introduce the world, all the characters, and set up the next pair. I'll likely read the next book in the series when it comes out.
