A wonderful mix of humor, social critique, and historical romance, with a neurodivergent heroine and strong social justice themes. I knew that in the past, it was relatively easy to commit someone to an asylum (especially women whose husband's find them difficult) but this story cast the issue in a different light.
Despite serious topics, there are plenty of fun moments and a couple of spicy scenes to balance the story. I enjoyed the witty dialogue and the misadventures of a cat added to the excitement.
