First five star fiction of the year!
Wow, my least reached genres are for sure historical fiction and fantasy, but in this case it just WORKED for me.
I found the main characters charming yet flawed, and their actions made sense with their character development.
I may be biased as a Seattleite, but I very much enjoyed being sent back to that time and learning some new history along the way. It was nice to have characters who were free to love in the 1910’s even though that would be very historically inaccurate for the time period obviously.
Overall, a great read that I’ll be thinking about for the rest of the year!
