I thoroughly enjoyed this read! I appreciated how they author made a queer and trans story fit into the time period in a way that felt genuine. The care for the historical setting but also for the queer and trans readers of today was very clear, and I appreciated the author's note providing context. I also really enjoyed the beginning note emphasizing that while other characters would misgender Oliver, the narrative never would. This was a refreshing remix to a classic story. I found myself smiling on more than one occasion.
