5.0

By and large I absolutely loved this book! Tipping the Velvet was advertised to me as a lesbian cult classic from 1998, and honestly, what more could you ask for? Between the evocative writing, the victorian setting, and the heavy focus on gender roles, betrayal, lust, and love I was hooked from beginning to end.
