![]() And like in all the best fiction, the revenge is so, so sweet. The main social theme was how Alice, who comes from an abusive home, has been wrongfully disowned by her father because of, you guessed it, misogyny. There also was no relationship drama or misunderstanding/miscommunication, which I always appreciate. It was still "slow burn" enough if you keep in mind that this is a novella that has to start and end in less than 100 pages, and I really enjoyed it. The book is quite short so things move quickly in terms of both characters realizing their attraction to each other, and what worked well is their difference in experience when it comes to attraction to other women. The story follows Alice, a disowned woman, and Molly, lady's maid and former thief. ![]() This was my first book by Cat Sebastian and after hearing great things by my friends I was maybe slightly disappointed that I couldn't give this novella a full 5 stars, but I still enjoyed it a lot, and it did made me curious to try her full length novels. Or maybe it's just that I'm so starved of f/f that I'll read it no matter the genre. ![]() Historical romance is a genre I rarely read but with the recent surge of f/f historical romance I find myself more and more interested in the genre. ![]() I was sent this book as an advanced copy by the publisher via Edelweiss for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are my own. ![]()
