I LOVED this couple and how cute they were together. Arthur has joined the ranks of my book boyfriends. He fell so hard for Violet and was so smitten. Give me a man who loves listening to a woman talking about things he does not understand. I loved how much he would go wild for Violet talking about her work, even when he had not idea what she was saying. There was a lot happening in the book but despite the chaos everything made sense to me, especially considering the house was supposed to be chaotic and full chaotic people. I did hate how Violet was treated sometimes by her friends, so I was so happy she got her HEA. I can't wait for the next book.

This book is the definition of #girlboss #slayqueen and I mean that in a negative way. It’s SO on the nose that it’s just exhausting. Also… she’s super “feminist” but anti labor rights? Also why are all of the non cis white characters servants?? rubbed me the wrong way, even if “historically accurate.” Had to force myself to finish it. 0.5 stars just because I liked the male love interest

Moderate: Deadnaming, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Misogyny, and Transphobia

There is a side character who is a trans man, and there is some on-page transphobia and deadnaming (by other characters, not from author). A huge theme of this book is the abuse women suffer in a patriarchial society, so there is quite a bit about sexism, domestic abuse (both emotional and physical), though nothing is graphic or on-page.
