I really enjoyed this book! The intrigue, the really interesting historical dive of Shanghai, and a fresh take on Romeo and Juliet that puts a lot of agency into the hands of their inspired characters had me flipping through the pages. Once I finished it, I immediately started its sequel book and also read it in a matter of hours. I loved the world of this book!
