This was a wonderful slow burn, sapphic, cozy, cottage core romance with teeth. The pitch of Bridgerton meets Practical Magic is close, but honestly the regency period tropes are such a small part of the book since queer relationships are normalized.

I have to mention the narration first. Mia Hutchinson Shaw was phenomenal. If I had just read the book then the characters would have been far flatter and the romance nowhere near as sizzling. Listen to this if you can!

The pacing was really well done, the conflicts in the light parts of the story weren’t dragged out and the crescendo at the end was long enough to have impact without feeling layered on to hit a specific range of emotional turmoil.

The romance was so good if you like a really slow burn and pseudo enemy to lover trope. The characters all had depth, their choices and flaws …
