I don’t usually like dual perspective but this book did it SO well. It took me a minute but I really enjoyed the difference in writing styles. I read this book as a nice breath of rom com ness and it delivered just that. Main couple was compelling and developed  so naturally!

I really liked this book and how it tackles some heavy subject like abusive relationship and the overwhelming about of falsely accused minorities in the prison system. A really cute but also important story. I recommend it but be warned it deals with some heavy subjects and there isn’t any spice.

Honestly found it a bit dull, but there were enough cute/sweet elements that helped me finish.

Also saw they cast Lady Sybil as Tiffy in the TV adaptation and I just…don’t see that. AT. ALL.

A little hard to get into at first, especially Leon's writing style, but it was fun and wholesome and got really good towards the middle-end. I love that the characters have their own background and personality outside the relationship.
