I really loved this story. I have a lot of gaps in my history knowledge and so a lot of this information was newer for me to read. I loved Lily the main character and the relationships that she explores throughout the book.
Her perspective was so interesting to me and I was fully immersed in her story.
Minor spoils:
The romance was incredibly sweet and I thought the characters were adorable in exploring their sexuality and love for each other.
I also feel like I gained a lot of insight from reading from this perspective - especially during this time period. A lot of what it covers wasn't really taught in school and I feel like that this history is important for everyone to know.
