While a cutes sapphic diversion, this book lacked the grit and drama I had been hoping for. Perhaps I took this to be more of a YA book than an adult one (granted, on the older side of YA) I found myself disappointed in the petulant and defiant nature of the love story. It seemed forced, rather than organic, and disproportionally one-sided. I tended to agree with the Duke of Annadale that Miss Mitchelmore was far too young and naive to truly know what it is she wanted. But, regardless, it was a fun read if being light on the bite I wanted.
