The worldbuilding and plot were stunning. My only complaint was I wish this was a novel instead of a novella so we had more time to spend on character. But still, give me time travelling queers, and I'm very happy.

A delightful romp of a regency romance. I loved Jessie. But my real question is if the romance novelist almost sister in law gets her own story!

This play is so exquisitely crafted, so visceral, that any notion of ranking it seems ridiculous. Go read it.
