annietasaka 's review for:

Manic Pixie Dream Earl by Jenny Holiday
4.75

4.75⭐️This was everything I adore in historical romance. Tender, charming, witty and oh so sweet. 🥰 I pretty much devoured it.

Having not read Earls Trip yet (something I will remedy now) I spent the first couple of chapters situating myself but it did not stop me from absolutely loving this. I was immediately charmed by Effie, Archie and Simon’s friendship and their found family vibe.

Julianna was a women ahead of her times. She and Effie fell in love over correspondence, they had never met, she thought  he is a woman and yet they knew each other in a very fundamental way. I found their love story quite touching.

“If Effie had not known love, or desire, before, it was only because he was meant to know them here, now, inside this living painting.” ♥️

Thank You to NetGalley, Hambright PR and the author Jenny Holiday for the advanced reading copy, all my opinions are my own.
