I knew what I was signing up when I read the premise, but I also did not know what I was signing up when I read the premise.
Definitely not an easily digestible historical romance (again, knew that from the premise), both characters were able to grate on my nerves, but toward the end, I really struggled to finish. The writing was pretty, and the way the characters set up was nice, I adored a lot of the side characters especially the spitfire nature of most of the women, ugh, wonderful— some of the pranks were even funny (see the one with Violet's mom), and their friends' reactions to their stubbornness and inability to communicate (I mean, five years is a long time lol), but by a bit of the point, I just wanted the book to be over. Still, managed not to DNF.
Do with that what you will.
