DOWN & DIRTY QUICKIE REVIEW!
One Sentence Summary:
Gilded Age heiress heroine teams up with her newspaper tycoon ex-hubby to play Where’s Waldo with her missing brother.
What part made you fangirl squeal:
When Lily kidnaps her ex! Like, HELLO GENDER SWAPPED TROPE!
Favorite Character:
Lily’s shy, wallflower, locking-picking, playboy-crushing cousin. Cora’s book needs to be in my brain SOON, dammit!
How smexy was the smex?
THAT! BATH TUB! SCENE! I ain’t ever fangirled harder over female masturbation & a voyeuristic hero in my god ding-damned life!
Name That Trope:
Second Chance Romance, Team Up, At Odds, Big Misunderstanding
Whose Line Is It Anyway:
Got any bitching to do?
The book’s weakest link is the romance. Hero keeps secrets for stupid reasons & has to learn not to be a noble idiot. Yawn.
Visually Depict Yo Book Feels:
Famous last words:
This spunktacular, feisty heroine, the POC representation, AND the Gilded Age era made this book so damn fun to read!
The romance & the second chance relationship dynamic? Not so much. BUT! The world building, the characterization, and the external plot were pretty poppin’! GIMME MORE OF THIS WORLD YES PLEASE THANK YE!
