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.”
