Beware the trigger warnings! This one has some dark bits! Once you get past the first quarter-third of the book being pretty grossly harassment-y, the plot is actually pretty good. I almost didn’t keep reading past a certain point of blatant sexual harassment, so I wish the character development began sooner. I preferred this book to its previous because plot was more complex than “we can’t get married because Victorian socioeconomics.”

bookrecsbyjess's review against another edition

it was a bit too crass, the pacing was slow, and I just wasn’t enjoying it that much anymore. Also, there were a few parts that took me out of the story, and I had a hard time getting past them.

📝Even though MMC basically loved FMC from the start, and I'm usually a sucker for that, it was kind of hard to root for him because he kept something secret from her that he definitely shouldn't have, for like a long time. I admired FMC's commitment to the cause (women's rights and suffrage) even if she could be myopic about it. And I learned a bit from the book about the state of women's rights in Victorian England. 

🎧 Dual POV, only one (female) narrator, she was good. 

🌶️ 3.5/5 There were a few steamy scenes but they weren't super graphic. 

🏳️‍🌈✊ Neurodivergence rep!! MMC probably has ADHD. His mother has a mental illness--at least depression, possibly bipolar.

Another perfect installment. I love this series so much, I’m torn between pacing myself so I can enjoy it longer or devouring the rest of the books immediately.

A delightful read. It’s hard to judge this reading this directly after loving the first book. 

I particularly liked the interactions and authentic greyness with parents and among the secondary characters. I also liked the final act didn’t hinge on a grand gesture. 

Second read for 2024 (September this time) and I really enjoyed it again. Upgraded to five stars. The flaws of the dramatic reveal in rochesters room aren’t significant to demerit it. I like that the sex scenes aren’t indulgent and help move the character development along. The dual POV in third person works very well.

This did such a fair treatment of Lucie. I love how their relationship was grown and fought for. The ending is truly right for her character.
