Don't Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban
4.25
Was this book only 15% historically realistic? Yeah.
Was it an absolute delight? HELL YEAH
(Personally, I think the outrage of them being step-sisters at the end is overblown. While obviously not ideal, it is a semi-realistic sham for their relationship at the time. I’d be more uncomfortable with it if their parents were unaware and treated and referred to them as sisters. Since their parents are in on it and did marry at least a little bit as a cover for their girls, it reads more as two separate couples cohabitating than one big happy family.)
I’m very excited for Book 2 and am exciting to see our scheming couple again.
