This took me a few days to process and decide on a rating, but I'm going to give it five stars!
The sole fact that this book is still on my mind after I'm well into my next one tells me that I really was fully intrigued by this story, and it really captured my thoughts!
I'm usually one for more lighthearted stories and romances, but the complicated nature of the romance was so interesting to me, as I've never read a queer romance set in the past!
I really liked the friendships in this book (even more than the romantic relationships), it was so emotional and heartwarming, and also heartbreaking...
And the twist later on in the book really got me!
