My Dear Henry: A Jekyll & Hyde Remix by Kalynn Bayron
4.0
3.5 stars (rounded up to 4).
Thank you NetGalley and publishers for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
My Dear Henry was beautifully written. You could feel the time period and setting through the book! Gorgeously gothic and filled with beautiful themes, I was immediately hooked by this book. I loved the way Gabriel confessed his feelings and discovered his own life compass.
The book had lovely pacing in the beginning, giving us enough information to form the world but not too much to ruin the mystery. The plot did feel super rushed at the end and didn't give the characters enough room to grow and push against the tension the author worked so hard to lay out.
Still, since this book captured my attention so intently and the writing was so gorgeous, I have to give it a higher rating! I hope the author writes more gothic/time period pieces.
