Okay I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected.
When I started this book I hated Simon Hunt. I thought I was going to dnf this because of how much I hated him. Reader, I fell in love with him.
I loved the plot of this. I love a historical romance where the majority of time is spent at a house party so this really hit the spot for me.
I also loved the characters. Simon and Annabelle became everything to me but I also love the other wallflowers so much. I love the portrayal of female friendship in this. I cannot wait to read the other girls books.
The writing was so fun. The vibes were immaculate.
I especially appreciate that there was no dumb third act conflict. I liked that we got a substantial glimpse into married life for Simon and Annabelle. I do think the plot dragged a little after they got married but the ending saved it for me.
A good time. Very enjoyable.
