I wasn't even in the mood for a book like this. I had read so many similar books recently that I started this one somewhat begrudgingly when I was in a rush to choose an audiobook. Why did I love it so much? Why was I crying over the circumstances of a side character? The characters were too charming to resist, I suppose. In addition to the romance and friendships, I really loved the interactions between Charlie and Alma. Add Jess Everlee to the list of authors who write wonderful queer historical romance. The audiobook narrator was excellent as well.
