Overall a great read: fast—paced, funny, thoughtful, and moments of unironically beautiful writing.

Disappointed that there’s really only one sex scene (although the foreplay scenes are brilliant) and I felt like the ending was a bit rushed and the threads of the story just tied up a bit too neatly.

But also, this is my first romance novel, read in anticipation of Bridgerton 3, so maybe a complex plot and tons of obstacles/setbacks for the characters are not the point.
