3.5

While the premise of this book is really interesting (a sapphic Regency romance focused on a scientist!), the book itself is a little lackluster. The main characters get together fairly early, so this isn't the book for people who love slow burns. The challenges of their relationship are also very easily resolved which is great for healthy communication but a bit boring for a reader since the stakes feel a lot lower as a result.
