I really liked this! I thought it was well done and very cute. I don't typically enjoy historical romances unless they are queer and this definitely was!
I loved all of the characters and I ate up Gwen and Bridget's romance, but I was not feeling the love from Art and Gabe. Art was such a funny character and I think his POV added a lot to the story. I liked Gabe as a character and could relate to his struggle. But I didn't understand why they might like each other... at least as anything more than friends. They were complimentary, but not compatible. I think they brought out good qualities in each other but didn't have a ton of chemistry.
