This is a really wonderful fun, mostly light book. The two main characters are interesting and their familial relationships in particular are fun to discover. The romance was sweet, and the combination of an interesting plot and easy to read prose made it an almost effortless read. I'm really glad I picked it up and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel!
Docked 0.75 from the score mostly for excessive Harry Potter references. There are better ways to invoke a British setting and Hall knows this - Rowling's transphobia was known before this book was published and the sheer number of references should not have made it to print.
