Æ tror det e fem år, minst, siden æ begynte å lese den her boka, men det faktum at det har tatt mæ så lang tid å fullføre sier mer om kor lite æ har lest de siste åran enn kvaliteten på historien – for den va framifrå.
I love queer regency romances. but do you know what I love more than queer regency romances? When embroidery or cross stitch is prominent in the book or plays a plot role. You cannot find this trait on NoveList, I have TRIED. You just have to hope it's important in your queer regency fiction.
Absolutely delightful. This is the first f/f romance I've read, and a great intro for me—not only is there plenty of passion, but I love that it focuses around women in sciences and the arts in Regency England. (And the injustices of being pushed out of male spaces.) So really, it just ticks so many boxes of what I'm looking for in a novel.
The first quarter was good, but the rest of the book has no character development and everything very conveniently falls into place
This was a little too romance novel-y for me to love it (complete with me feeling like they got together way too soon and sex scenes I skip because porn is boring), but I did appreciate seeing a f/f version that's done so well--it's a really well-done example of the romance genre period. Also features a good balance of the characters knowing that they're operating in a homophobic world but also being able to build a happy life together.
