A review by robynlynae
To Love and to Loathe by Martha Waters
4.0
This book was very sweet and very easy to read. Very similar to the Bridgerton series but without so much gross misogyny. Interestingly it discussed several pretty progressive topics considering it’s set in the regency era: the imbalance of power and freedom between men and women of the time, surprise sapphics (!!!), and female sexual freedom. I think these were done respectfully and in a way that still feels a little relevant.
The plot sounded a little outlandish at first but it was actually pulled off quite well and the side characters, while not as fully fleshed out as I would have liked, are still interesting.
The banter between characters was very good and funny and made me actually smile several different times.
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot. I will probably read the book that came before this in the series and will most likely be keeping my eye out for future novels in the same universe.
