ANOTHER banger by olivia atwater!! dude im just so happy to have discovered her books on a whim …. At first i was worried this wouldn’t live up to half a soul esp with a seemingly unconnected cast but im so so glad i was wrong :] only complaint? 245 pages is SHORT!! i would have loved to stick around for another 100-150 but i also appreciate an author who’s like “well im done with the tale, im not gonna stretch it out”. anyway brb recommending this to all my friends 

abt the hero… im putting a spoiler warning bc going in completely blind save for the blurb was an awesome AWESOME experience

dare i say juniper jubilee might lowkey be a historical romance hero of all time for me? i texted allie 30% of the way in like “Benedict is boring i hope she gets with the faerie instead” AND SHE DID!! let me tell you i was JUMPING FOR JOY — i was juniper jubilated if you will— when i realized im not hallucinating and that really is the direction we’re going. she literally let him hit because he’s whimsical. i love that guy and his joie de vivre and i think he’s PERFECT for effie and im glad she got a happy ending without having to compromise her class identity.
