This was such a fun read.  It was magical and feminist with a setting reminiscent of Jane Austen or Bridgerton.  I absolutely loved the characters.  It was a fun, engaging, fast paced read.  All pleasure and no guilt because the book centers the feminist values that are really important to me.  Near the end of the book, there is some time when things look bleak for the main characters and I felt sick reading it because I wanted the best for them so badly. 
It does have an almost too tidy ending, but I was happy to see the characters I care about get everything they wanted, so it didn't take away from the book for me.
