A delightful read. It’s hard to judge this reading this directly after loving the first book. 

I particularly liked the interactions and authentic greyness with parents and among the secondary characters. I also liked the final act didn’t hinge on a grand gesture.

Truly worth it to see Lucie, the absolute hell on wheels, rabble-rouser nightmare, be loved exactly for who she is and on her terms

I love the characters individually, but I wasn't fond of the premise of their romance, and books where being smitten as children elide the introduction frustrate me. This one was better than others in that they still show that introduction and show how the characters' dynamics have stayed the same or changed over time, what that means for each of them, that Ballentine's needling of Lucie is an aspect of trying to get and keep her attention - but his proposition was still a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I also was not fond of how the dynamic with Arthur played out, and feel that he as a character could have been better than his stereotypical outcome.

I am obsessed with this series! It is loosely connected with the prior book in the series, and I do recommend reading them in order, but it's not altogether necessary. Having met both of the protagonists in the prior book, I was curious to see where this one would go, but it really sold me on the characters' relationship. The added elements of the women's suffrage movement, strong friendships, and complicated family relationships put this one a cut above your average, enjoyable romance for me.
