A light, silly read. Completely unrealistic, slightly cliché, but nice as an escape.
And clever! That "gender normative" joke almost made me choke on my icecream cone. (Even funnier coming from a misogynistic evil uncle like Freidrich.) It's the type of humor that takes modern culture and mentions it in historical fiction, and I fall for it every time. I mean, it's FUNNY. Uncle Friedrich claiming his diary is going to be the next Oprah's Book Club Pick? I'm telling you, this story is delightfulfully off its rocker.
