Perfect. A thrice-jilted duke is my absolute favorite kind of duke, and to see THIS duke emotionally leveled by the brave and loyal and fiercely free Nellie? Love it. A lot to love, but highlights for me include: an abortion backstory that doesn't lean on trauma and instead centers agency and confidence, a strong focus on reproductive agency for all women, an absolutely stunning love declaration, a believable third-act conflict and a strong show of female friendship from our supporting cast.
