I liked the concept, and I really tried to enjoy this, but the writing felt like a combination of over-the-top “well golly gee willikers I’m an American” with everything else ranging wildly from florid to pompous to what I would call 1800s romance standard. for someone who was so into historical reenactments that she knew pantaloons from breeches, why was Isabelle so clueless about EVERYTHING?!
the inclusion of a set of historical figures around science and mathematics was great, but the writing killed any chemistry between the MCs for me and made it hard to get through a book i’d normally finish in a day. unfortunately I had to bail on the audiobook, Mary Jane Wells is the GOAT as far as I’m concerned but listening was borderline painful.
