And Mira (I am rooting she gets her own book so badly). How adorably in love Louise and Badger were, and the soft aunt moments with Little Bartholomew. Alexis Hall just writes secondary characters who sparkle. Both dealing with inner demons and doubts, realizing they had to love themselves in order to trust and be able to love someone else.Īnd the secondary characters. The slow burn as these two just kept PINING for the other in the best way. The use of the historical setting to make the separation of the sexes so much clearer, their different classes, ugh this book was just so beautifully done and you can tell that each choice was just intentional, with Alexis Hall's sharp wit. How they loved each other for themselves. I loved their transition from friends to lovers this story was so full of love and joy but also angst. Viola making a difficult choice, live her life as her authentic self but leave her old life behind in a lot of ways, including Gracewood. It is not a light read, my heart broke for Viola and Gracewood. I'm going to do my best to review this book but honestly words fail me to describe how beautiful it was. childhood best friends to estranged to lovers I would recommend if you're looking for (SPOILERS) Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest reviewĬW: PTSD, ableism, self-medicating with alcohol and drugs, grief, abusive parent (past), use of a dead name, war injury, violence
