(Relatedly, while, technically, one can read the books separately, the series epilogue at the conclusion of this book would be quite lost on that reader.)
With this book, Evie Dunore has produced a powerful and satisfying end to a series that is astonishingly accurate and deft in its portrayal of navigating the modern, western world as an intelligent girl, then woman. If Barbie, the movie, brought out all the feels, then this is your new favorite series. Enjoy!

Also, a scene or two in which piercing is discussed and some homophobia (challenged in the sense that the related character flees instead of stick around for it).haley49's review against another edition

Dunmore clearly did her homework on the history of the women's movement, life in Victorian England, the silk business in Lebanon, and more. I am intrigued by some of the topics discussed and will do additional reading on my own.
Plus there are some steamy scenes as well.
