Deciding to read this book was very daunting for me, not only because it is not a genre I typically read, but also because there is so much hype around this book. I was scared it wasn't going to live up to the expectations I had placed on it because of the love it has received from practically everyone else.
But it did.
This book was absolutely incredible. The writing was so good, I felt completely at home reading about a time period I truthfully don't know all that much about. I loved the characters, and I loved the plot. It was all done so well. I thought the snippets of articles that were dispersed throughout this book were really useful as a way to see outside of Evelyn's point of view, and really added to making the whole world of this story seem completely real.
There were definitely some difficult topics covered in this book, but I think they were handled really well. In previous books I have read, these kinds of topics have been uncomfortable to read about, but that was not the case here. And it was also so nice to see different sexualities explored within a time we don't often see sexuality being explored.
But it did.
