All the Painted Stars by Emma Denny

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.0

This is a sweet friends to lovers historical romance and I really enjoyed Jo and Lily’s story. It was definitely a slow burn, with lots of confusion and pining, and the character dynamics and friendships were really well written. Unfortunately it wasn’t for me, I did enjoy it but I found it very slow-going in a way that just didn’t make me want to continue, but I’m glad I did, it’s just not the read for me!
Thank you to HQ and Netgalley for the ARC!
