A 5 star read with a few mechanical errors that took me out of the story. Quincy is not Emma, yet she is a Brower heroine, so there is a sense of wistfulness to the longing/striving towards her goal that is delightfully suited to the 19-year-old girl making her own way in the world. My absolute favorite moment was when Quincy

gave Arch his ancestor's "lost" poetry collection

because it was so in line with both characters but also felt super indulgent as a reader. Even the side characters felt realistic with full lives, enough that the main character can observe and recognize as separate from her own. Highly recommend this one!
