A near perfect book for me. Enjoyed to lovers, P&P retelling, burlesque, stage names, building design/interior design, queer, and so fun. Literally my only quibble is that there's no way someone with only a summer internship worth of design experience
could get a building designed, documents, through permit, and constructed in 2 months...
but that's just my architect side showing, and I can't turn that off...
