A fun sweet read and I love LC Rosen’s works that revision classics in a queer lens. There were a couple times I felt the plot was overly strange for the otherwise deeply realistic portrayal of queer teens such as when Emmett’s dad was taking his blood to check for disease. I assume these odd pieces have some tie back to Jane Austen’s Emma, but at least they were addressed by other characters at some point.
