this book was just not for me, man. the plot was pretty predictable and i found a lot of the cast to be one-note. on the positive side, despite the actual length, it was a quick read, and i cared about wil quite a bit! if you're in the mood for queer historical romance without the period-typical homophobia, this will scratch your itch (though because racism and sexism are mentioned throughout the novel it does feel weird that being gay is a-okay <- words of a person with Thoughts on this)
