I am truly in awe at both Rachael Lippincott's and Alyson Derrick's ability to write novels that I devour within a day and that so completely overwhelm me with emotion and love, I am rendered to nothing but the shell of a man—and this one is absolutely no exception.
I'm not a huge fan of historical romances, and since I'm used to the more contemporary settings of Lippincott's other books, I was a bit worried about starting this one. But I was physically unable to put this down. I was immediately pulled into the story, and I started getting emotional right off the bat, within the very first chapters. I adored both of these characters, and each of their personal struggles were so relatable, I felt like this was written specifically for me. They were both so well fleshed out as individuals, but their love story is really what makes this book wonderful. I was laughing and giggling and blushing along with them, I could feel so deeply their longing for one another. This novel is the true embodiment of sapphic yearning, I'm obsessed.
I cannot recommend this enough, it is so worth the read, and I promise it will make you shed at least a few tears (or, if you're like me, it will fully dehydrate you)!
Thank you so much to Simon & Schuster for an advance reader copy of this novel. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
