Lex has hit out of the park again: I inhaled this book over two days. The writing is so funny, I felt so invested in the characters and the explorations of sexuality and gender felt so natural.
Lex once said of this book (I may be paraphrasing slightly) "if there's a choice between historical accuracy and a good joke, I'm going for the joke", personally I believe they make the right choice every time.

Queer friends to lovers. Crumbling Gothic house. Brooding poet. Eccentric artist types. Solid non-binary rep. I loved Reputation and had been looking forward to this, and it didn't disappoint!

In Regency England, Eddie Miller is attempting to pen her debut novel. Her best friend Rose is talking of growing up and getting married, while Eddie's attempting to hold onto their days of hiding in a treehouse and practicing kissing together. When she meets her literary hero, Nash Nicholson, at a dinner party, she gets ushered into a world of drunken excess, erratic artists, and crumbling lake houses, much to Rose's chagrin. The lifestyle Eddie thought she desired isn't all it's cracked up to be; she's finally making sense of her book, but the nights are cold, the parties are loud, and her feelings regarding Rose and Nash are only getting more confusing...
While Croucher's sophomore novel is just as witty and heartwarming as their first, the dark elements are even darker (check content warnings!). I genuinely can't wait to force this book upon everybody I've ever met and all of their friends.
