The mc was so clueless and dumb and annoying. The plot was so predictable and not enjoyable

the third act drama of him stealing her manuscript? Obviously going to happen. I can't believe she didn't properly fight back and why leave it for the last 5% of the story?

This is not for you if you're looking for a good historical romance, as there are a lot of modernisms that take me out of the world, but this is a beautiful sapphic romance. Edie is unbearable to start with, but learns and grows. Rose is the perfect girl. My stomach felt increasingly sick in every scene with Nash; Edie is stupid but she figures it out. Characters are complex and marriages are imperfect.

I almost dnf this book. Eddy, our main character, was incredibly frustrating at times. It was lacking in the romance department. But overall it was a good read. 

I will never not hate that Nash got her book

Nash gave me the creeps instantly, a reminder of my BA Creative Writing days at Uni and a reminder of why I no longer partake in those circles. He was instantly irritating and I got mad at Eddie for not realising that he had ulterior motives earlier. She was very much the densest and most naive character in the entire book and while I was angry on her behalf, I was angry at her actions and obliviousness more often.

Tropes:
Friends to Lovers
Unrequited pining
Secret relationship
