That was actually so good. Sorry for everyone who tried to convince me to read it and I never got to it lol 

The way this book got everything I love. Rivals to lovers. Royalty. Gay people. Jane Austin. Poems. Talk about Remus Lupin being gay (he is). History. Adorable family support. Hamilton. More gay people. I love it.
