The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh
Such a heart-warming historical romance!
This book, so far, is one of the 2022 books I've read with a lot of highlighted quotes. Eva Leigh writes so beautifully. There's something incredibly poignant about how the author writes about living a life unbound. Our main characters, Kieran and Celeste, are endearing and well-meaning individuals bound in familial loyalty. I enjoy their conversations, and I really like the build-up of their relationship. Individually, I admire Celeste and her empathy. She also has a relatable struggle, trying to be your authentic self but couldn't for an image your family tries hard to uphold. The way she thinks is frank and witty. The same goes for Kieran. The only difference is how their family treats them. I also like how very astute they are of each other and other people, something they honed as they lead a life of deception.
Another thing I like about their relationship is how they communicate. It's emotional to read how both characters want the best for each other, even at the cost of their happiness. I enjoyed this book, and I recommend it!
Thank you, NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager, for the e-ARC.
