What a cute book. Like so so so cute! It made me feel such enjoyment and I'm happy and honoured to have had this book as an ARC.
I originally thought I wouldn’t like it when I started reading it, it’s set in 1798 and she needs an *escort* to go ANYWHERE. She’s 25 years old and has to ask her mother’s permission (and get an escort) if she can leave the town they live in. I’m 25 years old and I could up a leave for a week if I wanted to! Granted I would inform the parentals just so they knew I was safe, but that’s more a courtesy!
I do admit though, once the story got going boy did I enjoy this book. The complete sass. For me it’s the way things were worded. They never outright called people out on their shit but they definitely made their point known!
Towards the last chapters I could see where this was heading and I didn’t mind one bit. It ended exactly where I wanted it to.
