So glad I found this book, what a gem! All of the farcical elements made me nostalgic for my college days of reading British plays. I wish there were more queer books like this because I would read all of them. It’s kind of a genius concept. On top of that, every single character in this was so much fun, even those I initially thought I would dislike. The whole experience was a charming delight with wonderful prose that’s very reminiscent of Victorian novels if you’re into that kind of thing. Deserves to become much more popular among the queer readers crowd. It would surely fit in well.
