This is my second book by Sophie Cousens and I can confidently say she is one of my new favorite authors. I read The Good Part in January fell so head over heels in love with it that it’s still holding its #1 spot of everything I’ve read in 2024. This was yet another 5 star read and now I immediately need to read her entire backlist!
Here are some of the things I loved about this one:
- Setting: Bath was such a great setting. I was just there last year during the Jane Austen festival (though not as an attendee, just coincidentally) and it was extra fun to be able to picture everything so clearly.
- Writing: I just love her writing style and how it can manage to be SO funny and so poignant at the same time. The characters and situations are specific yet somehow so relatable and accessible.
- Enemies to lovers: If you’ve been around here a minute, you know this is my favorite romance trope, and I loved the fresh way it was approached here (and like, I really did hate him for a while yet the turnaround was v. successful!)
This one comes out on November 19 and I know everyone will love it.
Thank you so much to Putnam Books for the gifted copy.
