This is a standalone in the same universe as Winter's Orbit, with a new cast of characters. I'm a sucker for loveable rogues and the banter and yearning in this book hits me in all the feels. This forced partnership between Readers and Architects is a great twist on the arranged marriage/fake dating trope. I absolutely love this universe that Maxwell is creating.
