If you are looking for a sapphic historical romance, I'd recommend The Perks of Loving a Wallflower and The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics over this.

Don't Want You Like a Best Friend does not utilize the historical setting very well at all. I overall found the writing to be very poor, but some of the side characters were mildly charming and fun.
