Absolutely gorgeous novel! As others have stated, this is very much a remix and not a retelling. But I honestly love that. Novoa captured such a genuine and interesting queer story that makes me wish there were more historical romances like this one! As a trans person myself I related on so many levels to Oliver, and as such I did find myself crying while reading at least once. The ending is slightly idealistic/wish-fullfilling but I personally don’t think it takes away from the story itself—I was just really glad to see these characters get the happy ending that all queer people deserve :) 

I don’t often reread books but I will definitely be rereading this!
