📚 This was an enjoyable book. There's class difference (he's aristocracy) and an age gap (she's ten years older) and they have wildly different backgrounds and also he's lying to her. But it all turns out in the end, obviously. 

🎧 Dual 3rd person POV, single male narrator

🌶️ 3/5 There were a few explicit scenes but nothing super intense or adventurous.

✊🏽🏳️‍🌈 There isn't any racial diversity. Cultural diversity only to the extent of class difference, everyone is British. Both MCs are bi, and the MMC is on the ace spectrum, likely demi. Also there are hints at neurodivergence but this is regency times so obviously it's not explicitly identified as such.
