Okay I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected.

When I started this book I hated Simon Hunt. I thought I was going to dnf this because of how much I hated him. Reader, I fell in love with him.

I loved the plot of this. I love a historical romance where the majority of time is spent at a house party so this really hit the spot for me. 

I also loved the characters. Simon and Annabelle became everything to me but I also love the other wallflowers so much. I love the portrayal of female friendship in this. I cannot wait to read the other girls books.

The writing was so fun. The vibes were immaculate.

I especially appreciate that there was no dumb third act conflict. I liked that we got a substantial glimpse into married life for Simon and Annabelle. I do think the plot dragged a little after they got married but the ending saved it for me. 

A good time. Very enjoyable.

I loved this historical romance. The characters were well developed and the plot was irresistible. I couldn't put this book down and wound up finishing it in 2 days. She is fast becoming one of my favorite authors!

This was everything I needed!
The only reason it’s not 4 stars is that I know the next books in the series will be even better and I need to somehow remind myself years later which ones were the best.
