🇬🇧 This is a book to read for those who want a simple, cute read.
Here we follow the story of Beth and Gwen, two beginners, one must look for a husband and the other just wants to have fun. Then follows the classic story: they become friends, make a plan to get their parents married, fall in love... the kind of things that happen to everyone… right ?
The characters are endearing and the romance is extremely cute
but I found that there were a few lengths and the ending was a little too fast.
As for the period, it is very modernized, it is not a book to read for fans of historical novels who want a story without incoherence
I therefore recommend it for anyone who liked The Parent Trap / Bridgerton, wanting to read a sapphic romance.
And omg!!! This cover 🤍🤍🤍
🇫🇷 C’est un livre à lire pour ceux qui veulent une lecture simple, mignonne et sans prise de tête
On suit ici l’histoire de beth et Gwen deux débutantes l’une doit chercher un mari et l’autre veut juste s’amuser. Suit ensuite l’histoire classique elles deviennent amies, montent un plan pour que leurs parents se marient, tombe amoureuses… le genre de choses qui arrivent à tout le monde.
Les personnages sont attachants et la romance est extrĂŞmement mignonne
mais j’ai trouvé qu’il y avait quelques longueurs et la fin était un peu trop rapide.
Pour ce qui est de l’époque c’est très modernisé, ce n’est pas un livre à lire pour les fans de romans historiques qui veulent une histoire sans incohérence
Je recommande donc pour tous ceux ayant aimé the parent trap / bridgerton voulant lire une romance sapphic.
Et omg !!! Cette cover 🤍🤍🤍

I was given an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book was everything! I absolutely love the hijinks Gwen and Beth come up with to get their parents together so they don't have to get married themselves. Not realizing they're both queer until it's too late, this was an absolute joy of a book. Mixing my love of historical romance, queer discovery stories, and badass ladies.
The cast of characters was great. Aside from the main duo, Albie was a stand-out to me. Same with Meredith. They were both so accepting of Gwen and Beth and probably realized they had a thing for each other before they did.
I absolutely adored this book and cannot wait to read the sequel!
