I actually read Sophie Irwin’s sophomore book first, and after loving it so much, dove in to read this one. It was so fun but full of heart, and I felt so much for Kitty, who had the weight of her family’s worlds upon her shoulders and loves her sisters more than anything else. She and Radcliffe really connected so well as eldest sibling thrust into complete responsibility for their siblings much too early, and I was just waiting for Radcliffe to fucking bridge the class gap and understand the severity of Kitty’s plight and her commitment to her family!!! Irwin really has such a fun writing style and I got so sucked into the story and the setting; Eleanor Tomlinson also did such a great job as the audiobook narrator. I do wish we got a teeny bit more of the couple in the end after they got together (and with the rest of Kitty’s sisters!), but I had a fantastic time with this book and sped through it so fast because of how much I didn’t want to put it down; I’ll definitely be looking out for whatever Sophie Irwin puts out next!!
