sarah reviewed The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan
just fun
5 stars
if you like romances and suffragettes and newspapers and hatred of the British aristocracy, this is the romance for you! I mean, yes, of course it turns out that individual dukes etc are okay, but the premise is the institution is bad and that women are awesome and newspapers are powerful. There's some weird thing with a queer female subplot that is just lovely and explicitly romantic, but a queer male subplot being super coded, and I don't know what's up with that. But Milan's writing high quality romance here with a whole bunch of different tropes squished into one book.
