When I went into this book, I thought it would be about a fantasy story in which the FMC must find her place within the family, maybe having some lords and ladies in it, in a fantasy world, you know. Instead, this could also be seen as a historical story, because while reading it, I thought I was watching Peaky Blinders. Although the world itself is not earth, at least names of cities and so on were not from earth, I imagined it plays in an English city, because TEA was everything and the clothes suggested it plays, maybe, late 19th century/early 20th century.
We follow the story of Bryn, the FMC, returning home to her family, after growing up at her great-aunts place in another city. She has to find her place within the family, a merchant family that is in shady business, but wealthy, and would like to do honest business instead and trying to get a ring for the merchant guild.
Sounds like Peaky Blinders, right? Loved it.
Strong FMC, enemies to lovers, what do you need more.
