Too much telling, not enough showing

Lovely concept and potentially interesting characters, but it read like an outline in spots and did not make me feel as if I were one of the characters or even in the room with them.

Sweet and heartfelt romance between realistic characters

I loved this book! I read a lot of queer romance and so often the characters are young, beautiful, a bit idealized...That can be tons of fun, but I was so moved by the depictions of realistic women in this book. Love, tenderness and connection runs through the whole thing. This book is a balm for the soul.

This is a very cute book with some nice scenes, however the plot moved way too quickly for my tastes, and I feel I barely got to really know any of the characters, and some of them felt randomly generated by a lesbian romance generator. Still I would recommend this to any Gentleman Jack fans!

Just awful ….I only finished it for an online book group. Too many One dimensional characters and a predictable plot with unrealistic dialogue. Yes, it’s hot, throw it into the fire for kindling.
