This book has excellent reviews, leading me to believe this is a me problem. I love historical fiction with lgbtqia+characters. But somewhere along the way I started getting confused about the characters and the genders. It led to me not really being invested in the outcome and skimming a lot of the book. I think a lot went over my head too. It’s a strong story with lots of layers, maybe just not for a casual reader.
