This bookish book has a lot of purple prose which I don't normally enjoy, but I found this engrossing. I desperately wanted to know what happened, but it wasn't the reveal I had hoped for. I still enjoyed it, but this didn't produce the feelings I normally expect from a romance. The tension almost gave me thriller vibes, so maybe that's why the reveal was anticlimactic to me. I would try another of their books.
