adventurous emotional hopeful medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I actually read the second book by accident so it was kind of fun to see how the characters developed into who they were in book 2. I was so confused by Georgiana at first, excellent character writing!!! My only qualms were the southern accent and also that the MML was named Peter, and those are both simply personal preferences (or rather personal non-preferences lol).

A note on warnings:

the death of Peter’s brother from tuberculosis is mentioned in the book, the sexual violence mentioned is in reference to a friend of Selena’s who was left with child after unknowingly having sex, the toxic relationship and domestic abuse occurs off-page between Georgiana and her father as well as Peter and his father - got a lotta toxic fathers here
