This was another cute one! I really liked the accepting and loving environment that the MC's extended family provides. Some of the tropes: enemies to lovers, longtime crush, abusive step-parent, matchmakers, loving family/found family.
🎧 Both narrators were good and distinct. They had accents that tracked with the characters (to me, an American). I liked that there were two narrators. Often in historicals we only get one POV, or we get both POVs but only one narrator.
🌶️ 3/5 There were just a couple sexy scenes but they were well done.
✊🏳️🌈 There is of course gay and queer representation. Not much variety in race, ethnicity, class, etc.

The CW for Outing is about someone blackmailing them with the concept of outing them. It's hanging over their heads for most of the book but ultimately does not come to pass.
