2023 reread:
Bumping this up from 4 to 4.5 stars on this read, though I'm not quite ready to mark it as an all time favorite. Mostly it's just a sweet story with lovable characters, but that does what it does very well. This time through I also noticed how well done the character arcs and development work.
There's a short section where the classic relationship lie comes up as a plot point, which actually makes total sense in the context, but still stresses me out just enough to keep this from being a true favorite.

This was a sweet story of a maid and her lady. I love how we see the maid grow into her own person. The lady is super annoying through out, which makes sense given the context but still was a lot. It was a bit slow paced but picks up in the last 3rd and, oh boy, does it pick up. The love story is sweet but I felt they could've done more or less with it. It was a weird amount of romance. I still really liked it though (for the last third).
Moderate: Animal death, Animal cruelty, Confinement, and Emotional abuse
