Grantham was such a fun character! I loved how sweet and kind-hearted he was. I felt so protective of him. I had a difficult time with Margaret’s character because she hurt his feeling so much. She was relatable in some ways and endlessly frustrating in others. Their story was really cute when they got together. I also loved how much social commentary and the way women were treated was discussed.

I just REALLY love this series. Maggie and George might be my favorite characters of this series so far. Grantham is a pure cinnamon roll and I love him so much ðŸ˜
Obviously women supporting women is a major theme for the series, but I really enjoyed this version where the line between right and wrong was so blurred. It was the most divided we'd seen Athena's Retreat and it was a very interesting dynamic.
I'm also obsessed with best bro frenemies Grantham and Kneland. They were hysterical and I could read a whole series about them a la the Bromance Book Club.
Thanks to Netgalley & Berkley for the advanced e-book!
